Thousands of Authentic, Historical Pieces on Display
The Tour-Ed Museum is a Pittsburgh attraction that has thousands of authentic, historical pieces on display for our visitors. It's not just a coal miner's museum — there are many general store items, countless tools, and unique antiques.
In fact, our museum houses one of the most extensive and unusual collections of antiques in Pittsburgh. You can say it's one of the "coalest" family attractions in Pittsburgh!
This is one of those very affordable fun things to do in Pittsburgh where you can spend a couple to three hours with the family and learn about the heritage of coal mining in Western Pennsylvania.
See all kinds of items in the company general store miners and their families were able to purchase with the company scrip — everything from food and clothes to blankets and lanterns.
Visitors can enter a recreated home of a typical coal miner in the 1850s and learn how their families lived. No computers, cell phones, or mobile devices in here.
Our souvenir shop has many unique gifts and souvenirs for any age including crafted pieces of coal and miner hats to novelties, candy, drinks, and snacks. Make sure you stop in!
We have something for everyone which makes us one of the unknown, but "coalest" attractions in Pittsburgh.
