According to their website, The Coal Museum was founded in 1985 with the mission to serve and educate the public on the history of coal mining. The museum was built on land previously mined for coal and serves as an example how land can be put back to use after mining and reclamation. Everyone is welcome to visit the Museum to learn about coal mining and its history. The building is full of memorabilia, artifacts, and books on coal mining. No admission is charged for entry; the Museum operates on donations. Organizations and groups are also welcome, and tours can be arranged in advance. You can visit the museum Monday-Saturday from 9-4pm or Sunday from 12-4pm and tell AJ we sent you. You can also visit their website at http://www.lynnvillecoalmuseum.org

This weeks 'Where In Warrick' was fun...so let's tell the story for #FridayFacts. As his headstone reads, Jesse Boon, was where the name Boonville originated on May 15, 1818. It was initially named "Boonsville" but was later simplified to what we now know as, Boonville. Even more influential than Jesse was his son, Ratliff Boon, who served as the second governor of Indiana in 1844. Ratliff Boon is now pictured on the mural that is currently being painted near the Old National Bank on Main Street to preserve his legacy here in Boonville and Warrick County. If you would like to learn more about the early days of our area, we encourage you to visit the Warrick County Museum for more history and facts. #INWarrick #VisitWarrick

Shopping small is not only about the retail stores, it's about local restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries too! Pictured is just two of many options on the downtown square in Boonville, 2nd Street Bistro & Bakery and Yesterdaze Bar & Grill. They both make the perfect stop to grab a bite to eat or grab a coffee and dessert when you're out on the square shopping small. They say shopping does burn an average of 200 calories per hour, right? But who's counting?? #INWarrick #VisitWarrick #ShopSmall #SmallBusinessSaturday
