The Black Diamond Trail driving tour is celebrating its 10-year anniversary.

As part of the celebration, join Sheridan Community Land Trust Historical Program Manager Carrie Edinger, who will share recent updates to the Black Diamond Trail driving tour as well as the history of the historic mine trail that was established in 2012.

A screening of the video version of the Black Diamond Trail virtual tour will take you through the physical remnants of the once vibrant mining communities of Dietz, Acme, Carneyville (later called Kleenburn), Monarch and Kooi and other evidence of the past coal mining booms of Sheridan County. The 36-minute video tour features narration by Senator Dave Kinskey and presents historic and current photos of the mine sites.

This Explore History program offers open conversation for community members to share their memories or historical information about these sites. The Explore History program is generously funded by the Next50 Initiative.
