Mission

THE WEST VIRGINIA MINE WARS MUSEUM PRESERVES AND SHARES STORIES ABOUT THE STRUGGLES OF COAL MINERS AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR WORKERS' RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND JUSTICE IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY. AS A PEOPLE'S HISTORY MUSEUM, WE LIFT UP THE LEGACY OF A MULTI-RACIAL, MULTI-LINGUAL EFFORT TO UNIONIZE THE COALFIELDS. WE FOSTER CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE MINE WARS ERA AND THE INJUSTICES THAT STILL CONFRONT WORKING PEOPLE IN APPALACHIA, THE NATION, AND AROUND THE WORLD. FINALLY, THE MUSEUM EDUCATES YOUTH, BUILDS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, AND PROMOTES REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

  • EXHIBITIONS: PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY INSTALLMENTS - OUR EXHIBITS ARE METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND CONTINUALLY ENHANCED. ALONGSIDE OUR PERMANENT ON-SITE EXHIBITS, WE PRESENT FREE ONLINE EXHIBITIONS THAT EXPAND OUR GLOBAL REACH. WE ALSO HOST THE SOLIDARITY GALLERY, A ROTATING GALLERY OF ART AND HISTORY-BASED INSTALLATIONS THAT HIGHLIGHT THE WORKS OF REGIONAL ARTISTS AND STORIES. ADDITIONALLY, WE OVERSEE COURAGE IN THE HOLLERS, A DISTINCTIVE SERIES OF PLACE-BASED INTERPRETIVE INSTALLATIONS AND MONUMENTS THAT DOT THE LANDSCAPE OF SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA. THESE INSTALLATIONS ARE CRAFTED IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
