Mine Rescue Day

Step into the boots of a mine rescuer and experience how anthracite miners responded to danger and disaster underground. Splint bones, patch skulls, mix folk remedies, and get up close to rescue equipment at a special "touch-a-truck" with Scranton Fire.

Real doctors, first responders, and health professionals will explore mine rescue history at stations throughout the museum. Dr. Bill Conlogue (Marywood) will give a talk on the 1911 Pancoast mine fire, and we'll have rarely seen artifacts and historic films from our medical collections on display for one day only.
