Historical designation the goal for uncovered Export mine entrance

Above, the former entrance to the Westmoreland Coal Company’s No. 2 mine in Export, behind District Court 10-3-02 on Washington Avenue. For his Eagle Scout Project, Troy Florian recruited fellow scouts and worked with the borough’s maintenance contractor to clear weeds and exacavate the entrance, which was filled with stone when the mine closed. A pathway and informational sign will also be installed.

After a local Boy Scout got the project going, Export Historical Society officials now are looking to designate the former Westmoreland Coal Company’s No. 2 mine as a historical site.
