King Coal has retired...
But Roslyn lives on
With the closure of the coal mines in the early 1960s, Frank Musso felt a need to preserve the history that had shaped Roslyn. His efforts inspired other citizens to be interested and the result was the Roslyn Museum, created in 1969 under his supervision. Today the museum is administered by the Roslyn Museum Board with President Nick Henderson and staffed by our wonderful volunteers: Bonnie Jackson, Dave Franklin, Tad Riste, Jim Macagno and many others....
The museum is a reflection of Roslyn, it's tenacity, love of life and the richly seasoned ethnic mix that once represented more than 20 nationalities, and still does in the genealogy of it's inhabitants and former residents. Coal became the common denominator overcoming language barriers, various ideologies and diverse cultures. The result was and still remains a way of life unique to company towns.
