What a gem of a place! Reasonably priced collectibles, antiques, and primitives. Workers are very helpful. Allow a couple hours at least to look at everything. Don't miss the dent and bent groceries in the back. Have fun, we did!

We did not know what to expect. My wife thought it was going to be going into a mine and didn't want to go, but I talked her into going and she loved it. She has done more research and we just got the DVD to watch the movie. Museum staff are VERY informative, esp. Bill who owns the farm the rescue took place on. We learned a lot listening to his ~one hour DVD and story. Not much to see outdoors but the museum will give you a complete understanding of how the accident happened and the events that unfolded over the next couple of days to get the miners out. It was amazing and a miracle. May not hold the interest of small children.

I was on a girl days out to celebrate a friend's birthday. We stopped here to listen to the live band and had some good wine slushies. Plan to back next summer.

This park is wonderful! I went here for a mini getaway weekend with some friends and it was so much fun. The trials are great, well kept, and clearly marked. The lake has a lovely beach area, and canoe, kayak, or paddle boat, etc are available. There is also a concessions area that serves food sourced from local providers. The park also has bathrooms that are clean and neat. I’d go back in a heartbeat! Fishing, boating, swimming, hiking! Wonderful! Check out jones mill run dam!

Mel's has been apart of Somerset since 1928 with a very colorful history. Recently the ownership changed hands. The quality & portions of food have improved 500%. Please look at my pic of the SMALL Stromboli. It's huge.. The new owner Tim Rice Jr. Believes in using local suppliers especially his meats. He specializes in pizza, wings, Stromboli, burgers & salads. A very relaxed atmosphere & really friendly staff. You need to put this on your bucket list for a casual meal & meeting a lot of friendly locals.
