Our gift shop offers fine handcrafted jewelry, books, apparel, coal-related novelties, and displays of mining memorabilia. The Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine souvenir and gift shop offers unique variety of gifts and collectibles. Many of the souvenirs are handcrafted by local artisans. Most popular are souvenirs and jewelry made from anthracite coal. Some of the many coal souvenirs displayed are paperweights, pen sets, bookends, clocks, animals, trains, eggs, angels and other religious items, mining related items, plus many others too numerous to mention.
Many gifts can be special ordered and engraved.
Also sold are hand crafted mining scenes such as coal breakers, shafts, tunnels and trucks which are made with intricate pieces of wood and coal. Another artisan features beautiful coal and gem trees along with miniature pewter animals, figurines and trains which are mounted on pieces of coal and agate. For the train buff, we offer a large selection of train-related items and souvenirs. Adults and children enjoy everything from railroad hats and whistles to trains in all shapes and sizes. Because of the thousands of school children who visit the tunnel on field trips every year and the many families who bring children, the staff of the Pioneer Tunnel strives to offer gifts which are not only unique and fun but also educational.
