Great video about portal 31 and it's also pays tribute to your family who work in the coal mine
That was great guys!! Thanks!! My first time in a coal mine - not sure I'd want to work there, but I really enjoyed this visit!!! My hat is off to every single coal miner, past and present. Thank you - you are awesome!!!!
I'm new to this channel and love your content. Found you from the carpetbagger.
Thank you Jon and Jake for showing us wonderful things, for your friendship and careing about for you do.
Thank you
@@JonTurner75 You're welcome😙 Darn ! I missed your live stream cause I was watching an artist draw a huge pretty wave that even Jaws would be afraid of.
What gets me is that when that coal fire had just been started the goverment could have put it out before it had distoryed so much and is STILL destroying.
Those folks who gave so much were forgotten about and they lost everything!!! IF that coal fire had just gotten on fire and was heading for the White House, or some other biggie gov. building (s) you can bet the 'fire (s)' would be put out. Very sad indeed.
America was made from the sweat and tears of these wonderful people. This is so good Jon and it pays respect to your relatives, God bless them.
OMG! The continuous miner is a scary contraption. First time I have ever seen that. Thank you!
That looks like a cool ride in mine for 1920 in portal 31 jon
That was really cool. I grew up in a company town and my Father was the Steel Shop Foreman for the Gold mine. Every few years they would bring immigrants in from different countries to work in the mines and they would get citizenship if they stayed 3 yrs. Then they could go were they wanted in the country or stay. I wish they had done something like this when they closed the mine. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
Been there a couple times myself. Always enjoyed that place. 👍
Cool adventure,,thanxs for taking us a long enjoyed the tour.
Thank you
I have gotta see this in person. Thanks for sharing some of your family heritage with us Jon. Great video.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

That was awesome Jon! Thanks for this!!
That was a awesome video
Mad, mad respect for miners!! Such an interesting video!! I love this one Jon!! Thank you for teaching me about mining and miners, and for taking me to a place I would never get to go, and for sharing the history of these incredible men and their families. I’m blown away. Learned so much!!
Thanks i am so glad you enjoyed it.
Jon Turner I really did love this one!! I learned so so much, and that place is now on my bucket list!!
I enjoy both your channels Jon...but I think I like this channel a little better...God bless
Awesome i am so happy you like it.
Oh how I would love to go there.
What a hard life and seeing the children miners is sad. Thank you for sharing this so fascinating.
Wow! What a great ride along! I liked it so much I watched it again. We have mine tours here in Nevada. Virginia City has a nice one. But not like this! I hope you come back n check it out! Thank you for the great adventure! Stay safe and God bless!
Great video Jon and Jacob, it's awesome that they are preserving the mining history, stay safe and thank you for taking us along on your adventures Jon.

I really enjoyed this video! Being from Nebraska, I didn’t know too much about coal mining except what you see on tv or movies. This is very interesting and the ride looked pretty fun!
Hi Jon, that was a very good snapshot of coal mining through the years, awesome. It was hard back in the old days as you know only too well. Thank you for this very informative video, they should make all schools near there go to portal 31 on school outings. Thanks for sharing. x
Thank you so much
I learned a lot I didn’t know that I didn’t know. My grandfather was a PA coal miner. This was amazing for me! Thank you Jon!!!
Thank you for this awesome experience! Love your videos!!
Really love this video I used to as a kid go into abandoned mines silver, gold, copper never coal enjoyed this video. After watching this my girlfriend googled a song. "I'll never leave Harlan alive" good song and pictures to go with it.
So glad you enjoyed it.
After watching your trip to Portal 31, me and my wife decided to take a trip ourselves this past weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and we also mentioned to the staff that we heard about the attraction through your channel.
Always enjoy watching your adventures!
Wow..this was amazing! I really enjoyed it. Those poor old coal miners that died early is so sad. Very rough job.
Omg Jon this is so fascinating. I and my husband want to go there. I really appreciate these types of adventures! So cool.love your videos!
Thank you
Nice video!!
Thanks
Wow that was very educational and neat to see. Thanks for taking us along on the journey.😎👍
I came from a family of coal miners in Floyd county Kentucky.My dad didn't want his boys to ever have to work the mines so he moved us away from there.
My dad moved us too Tennessee for the same reason.
@@JonTurner75 I would like to see that place someday.
Very cool video
Thank you
My Papaw Partin worked in the mines back then they used mules.
I wonder if they have ever had a tour-goer have to exit early due to claustrophobia, as the guide asked at the beginning if everyone was doing ok. This was a good tour.
Oh yeah they have that happen all the time
Thank you Jon I really love this
Thanks
Jon, kudos for your hard work on bringing us such diverse videos, whether it be haunted for our spooky side, abandoned for our curious side, or slices of Americana for our love of country and history. I really hope more folks find your channel and the ones that are already here hit the like button and comment occasionally to help so you can keep making these awesome videos.
love the videos . just keep them comeing this one is great .
Thanks
This was very cool Jon! Was it nice and cool in there? Dusty any? Great video! Loved it📸💯🤗💞✨✨✨✨✨✨🙏🏻
loved the intro! This is a unique history lesson ! I would love to go see this in person. I would totally be scared the whole time in the mine tho!
So good that i watched this one twice. The men and boys plus the animals had a hard life back then. I'm sure it's just as hard today for the men still working in active mines. I have a lot of respect for all of them.
Very informative, thank you
OMG; brave and courageous man; I love it; It's a big WOW for me.
Cool mine tour. only one I've ever been to was the tour-ed mine in tarentum, pa. (Butler County). it's pretty wild to think how these places were when they were in full swing.
Cool ride. Coal miners had it rough back in those days. Great video.
Enjoyed the video guys! I worked in the mines here in eastern ky for years
What a cool place to go! Thanks for sharing!
That was awesome
Thank you
Lots of respect for miners! Alot of them came here from other countries like Italy, Ireland, and Cornwall in England.
A nice way to learn some history, thanks for sharing the video.
I would have had a hard time getting out of bed for that job not afraid of work ,it would be cloister phobic to me. I admire them for their work under those conditions
This one is on my list. I have been dying to check this place out
I would absolutely love to check this out. It looks so interesting!
Loved it amazing history thanks for the video 👍🤗
Nice tribute to the coal miners.
Never been in have seen it I’m 3 hours away from any mountain and when I went up blew my mind seeing the coal seems 12 feet off the road
some cool information thank you
Digging this stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, , this is so cool 😊 👍, , love this,,.good jobb
Hi Jon - I have never been on a mine tour like that. Thank you for taking us along. I found it difficult to understand the first couple of "miners"... weren't there British miners that could have been used instead? (Not your issue... Portal 31's decision). Thanks again.
Aww cool
Thanks
The ones 'in power' didn't care about their workers, one dies, another one get hired. Children working 60 hrs a week as well. Oh they'll be nice to their workers and give them credit to buy stuff to barely keep them alive and in debt.
Then things slowly get alittle, and little bit better but even today the same treatment pretty much happens but 'managers have learned better ways to hide their nasty practices.
I have two uncaring aptment managers who work for Hud and they claim that the thick black mold in my apt. that keeps growing into a bigger problem every day. Even useing bleach, if you can't get it all cause of being in the walls ECT it just keeps growing.
But back to the video, we owe a huge debt to those who came before us, and big time to the coal minners and their families.
God Bless the coal miners. And God Bless you, Jon, for bringing history to light. Thank you.
That was a cool video to see
Ben and Hiram...could that have been Ben Mills and Hiram Lewis? They were lifelong friends and worked there for years. Hiram is my paternal grandfather.
Very informative!!
I love comin here its my fav place to vist and its cloes by
Hi guys! This ride is very neat!
awesome video
Great place.
that was very interesting that was a very hard working job...and inhaling all that black dust may they rip
I thought that video great, the animatronics were supper. I get scared with closed places so I would have missed a fun educational video.
Wow that was cool
God bless those coal miners I think I would rather face 10 German panzers!
This was cool thanks for posting
Was this attraction sponsored by the UMWA by chance?
I am not sure
@@JonTurner75 Only reason I ask is it seemed to be very pro-union in the reenactments. Maybe it's just because I'm not use to that down in Florida.
@@TheSaltyExplorer It's because it was union for so long and the people who put in all of this effort to have this mine were union members and you are always loyal to that great union. Before the UMWA came in every one was at the mercy of the coal company and they controlled every thing. The miner had no say so what so ever.
Hi Jon - Where is this mine? Have you considered using a MAP? Just a suggestion.
How much $ to view exhibit?
👍🏻😀
