West Virginia coal museum faces critic over exhibits
Historian Wess Harris questions coal era displays at the West Virginia State Museum calling several panels inaccurate and biased. He points to a misinstalled Stickin Tommy candle holder and a staged mine tunnel, plus debates over company store scrip and Blizzard's depiction. Officials defend the exhibits as broadly accurate and part of a broad history.
