Pictou County, located in northeastern Nova Scotia, is home not only to the Museum of Industry, but to a rich history of coal mining. In fact, the beginnings of the industrial revolution in our province can be traced to the arrival here in 1827 of British technology, capital and workers to establish deep coal mines similar to what existed at home. Coal and Grit is a small permanent exhibit that tells the story of mining coal in this area from those early beginnings up to and including the surface (open pit) mines in operation in 2008. Highlighted is the Westray Disaster of 1992, which killed 26 miners and is still remembered vividly by Nova Scotians.
