Our Story
The Widow Jane Mine at the A.J. Snyder Estate is closed until further notice. Donations are needed to fund the necessary improvements to reopen the site. If you would like to see the Widow Jane Mine reopen this summer, please visit our gofundme page here https://www.centuryhouse.org/chhs-campaign-2019/
If we raise enough money to cover the needed fencing and compliant signage, the Widow Jane Mine may reopen later this summer.
If and when the property reopens, please visit the donation box at the gate on your walk up to the mine. Suggested Donations to the Century House Historical Society are: Adults: $5 Children: $1 Family: $10 Or become a member here https://www.centuryhouse.org/the-society/membership/
