The Cape Breton Miners' Museum opened in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia on July 31, 1967. It was a centennial project initiated by Nina Cohen. The Museum is located on a 15 acre site, on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, just 1 mile from Downtown Glace Bay and is a visitor's portal into the area's rich and colorful coal mining history.
The Museum's focus is on the geological development of the Sydney Coal Fields, including various mining techniques, early labour history of the coal mining communities, as well as the future of coal as an alternate source of energy.
