All aboard as The Hub on Smith and Sheridan Community Land Trust host the next Explore History program – Black Diamond Trail Bus Tour.

This driving tour will take you through the physical remnants of the once vibrant mining communities of Dietz, Acme, Carneyville (later called Kleenburn), Monarch and Kooi where you’ll learn about and observe evidence of the past coal mining booms of Sheridan County. Tour the Black Diamond Trail and learn about Sheridan County’s mining heritage. The TravelStoryGPS app audio tour tells the story of those who lived and worked in the historic coal mining towns just north of Sheridan during the early 20th century.

At each stop we will take in the views of a few of the remnants at the coal sites and suggested donation to Goose Creek Transportation $8.00 payable at tour time.  Limited to 11 participants. To RSVP for the bus tour please contact Amanda Munford, The Hub on Smith Fun and Wellness Coordinator, at 307-675-4952.

If the driving tour is canceled due to weather the Black Diamond Trail virtual tour will be shown in the The Hub on Smith Cafe.

Explore History is a collaboration between The Hub on Smith and Sheridan Community Land Trust.

Explore History programs will be held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at The Hub on Smith at 10:30 a.m. The Hub invites attendees to join them for lunch after the program’s conclusion.

Explore History has been made possible thanks to the generous support of The NextFifty Initiative.
