I am in Beckley, WV!

Today I have been a very busy little bear with my new friends at St. Francis de Sales in Bekley. Beckley is located in Raleigh County.

I traveled to the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine, Mountain Homestead and Youth Musuem in Beckley, WV. While I was there, I was able to see wwat life was like way back in the 1800 and 1800's. I toured an old general store, and old home and a schoolhouse. I also got to see how cotton was made into cloth. Then, I toured an actual coal mine. I rode on a mine car and listended to a retired coal miner talk about tools that a coal miner used and what he did in a day's work.

Finally, I went to a planteraium at the Youth museum and saw the night sky and learned about the stars and planets.

This whole trip was very educational!
