| People who love and appreciate antique buildings
and homes often want to go somewhere fun and unusual that offers a historic
theme. We also enjoy the usual haunts but what about the not so heard of
places that celebrate our nation's history? Not only are many of these
spots incredibly beautiful but they are historically rich as well.
We are proud to offer information on different and not so different destinations that derive their themes from history. Some of these are year round and others are one-time events. For more information on any of the places or events on this page
please call or write the location directly. If any of you see, hear or
visit somewhere you think we should include in this part of the site please
let us know through our contact page or e-mail us at dreamit@antiquerealestate.com. Happy Trails,

The Pocahontas Exhibition Mine and Museum Located in beautiful Pocahontas Virginia the Pocahontas Exhibition Mine and Museum is the worlds first coal mine to open to tourists. It stands at the mouth of the massive old Pocahontas coalfield and at one time produced 44 million tons of coal in 73 years. Back when it was most prosperous the town of Pocahontas served as the gateway to the massive Pocahontas Coalfield which stretched 10 miles beneath both Virginia and West Virginia. Today many stately structures stand vacant with some practically in ruins. The Pocahontas Mine is left to tell the story of a once thriving town. The mine is open April 1st to October 1st and admission is charged.
