Ritchie Tri-State Mineral Museum is the place where you get to know about the mining in this area in the last couple of centuries. This museum is created in such a way that visitors will be in the replica of a mine shaft for the whole time. The Dorothea B. Hoover Historical Museum is another museum in the complex.
