The Museum of the Coal Industry and Peabody presents  

A Date with Big Kate


The Museum Of The Coal Industry sadly has to announce that The Date with BIG KATE Tour is full. We are not able to take any more reservations. We are so blessed and thankful for the amount of response we have received. Those that have a tour will receive their tickets by 6pm Saturday July 12th. We are looking forward to a great day with BIG KATE


Event Information:

We are excited to invite you to come get up close and personal with Southern Indiana’s longest running walking dragline “Big Kate”. You can look forward to a “Miner’s Meal”, a guided tour to the dragline, photo opportunities, and a souvenir hard-hat. Tickets are for a suggested donation amount of $10.


There will be a bus leaving on an hourly basis beginning at 8:00 am.


(The Dragline is parked and will not be operating during the tours.)
