The Old Coal Mine

Picture of the entrace to The Old Coal Mine

The Old Coal Mine is just that. Way back during the depression the owners of yester years mined coal out of the hillside and sold it to the surrounding farms for money. The mine has since been sealed at the entrance and the cavern pretty much filled in. It's a nice place to make your way back to, and one that a picture doesn't do justice.

Near The Old Coal Mine's entrance is the Fountain Of Youth, a natural spring that helps fill the pond. Some of the water from the Fountain of Youth flows into the pond and some flows into a hole in the ground to disappear forever.
