The Christian County Coal Mine Museum is expanding.  The museum will take in artifacts from the Moweaqua Coal Mine Museum, which is closing.  Christian County’s museum will also organize a golf outing and a rummage sale to raise funds to benefit their operation.

The transition will happen closer to the fall.  Chuck Martin, the executive director of the Christian County Coal Mine Museum, believes the new artifacts will all fit in his space. 

The museum’s tenth annual golf outing will take place Saturday, September 12 at the Lake Shore Golf Course in Taylorville.  Those interested in playing or sponsoring can sign up to do so by calling Martin at (217) 526-4408.

Finally, their rummage sale will take place in early October, with the exact date still to be determined. 

More information on the Christian County Coal Mine Museum is on their Facebook page.
