Whitsett

fayette | Whitsett, PA Mile 104.1

This town achieved National Historic Register of Historic Places status in 1995 as it exemplified the typical coal patch company town. Going north, you’ll pass the remains of the Pittsburgh Coal Company’s Banning Number One Mine and overhead you’ll see the impressive Pittsburgh & West Virginia Banning trestle. Only concrete foundations and silos remain of the once-extensive mining complex that included a coal cleaning plant and several rows of company houses.
