With the decline of Anthracite and the end of the industrial age, the Huber Breaker closed in 1976 and was left to rot. As the Huber Breaker decayed, it began to take on a new persona, transforming from a symbol of industry into a place of exploration and reverence for an era long gone.

Beyond The Breaker explores the connections between people, place and the legacy of coal mining that still influences Pennsylvania's Anthracite region. Written by John Welsh See less
