When you grow up in Northeast PA (NEPA), you go to the Coal Mine Tour. Now from my childhood I only remembered that there was an incline that you descended and that it was slightly cold underground, so I decided to revisit the tour as an adult on a recent trip home to NEPA. I have to say that it is an incredibly eye-opening tour as an adult. You don your hardhat and take a car down a shaft into the mine itself. Your guide then takes you through parts of the mine and educates you on how mining was done in this area at the turn of the century. This was backbreaking, awful work and I couldn't be happier that this is no longer a job for people in this area. Having grown up in the area, it's incredibly humbling to look a breaker boy and think that it would have been my job if I was born 100 years earlier. The Coal Mine tour is a very educational activity and one that I would recommend to anyone who's visiting or to anyone who may have done the tour as a child and who would want to revisit it as an adult.

My boyfriend suggested visiting here as he plays guitar and has known about Martin Guitar for years and the fact they're fairly close to us, right in PA. There is a free museum and then there is the paid factory tour. It's $5 a person and only open M-F. They only take 8 people in each time slot and each slot is about an hour long. You get headsets (with sanitary coverings) and are shown around the factory floor while the staff builds guitars. It was such a cool experience and for the low cost of $5 - totally worth it. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and they really took us through every step. It was so nice to see workers doing everything in real time as well. The factory is fairly loud so I did need to turn the volume up on my headset fairly high. It's probably not the best idea for children but there were multiple children there and they do have special headsets for them. If you're looking to come and visit you do have to purchase tickets ahead of time and I would recommend purchasing them over a week in advance as when we went to book them the week of there were already many slots filled. The museum which is free to view was also so cool and took you through the entire history of the company and it's standing in the music culture from its beginnings in the 1800s until present day. There were so many beautiful guitars on display. Definitely a neat stop in Nazareth, PA.

There isn't a lot to do in the Ashland area, but a visit to the Pioneer Tunnel makes the trip out there worthwhile.
