Minersville Coke Ovens, Industrial archaeological site in Carbon Township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Minersville Coke Ovens is a former coke production site on industrial land in Pennsylvania. The facility spans several acres and contains dozens of well-preserved ovens from different construction periods.
The site began in the late 1700s and grew into a major production center over more than a century. Operations finally ended in the mid-20th century.
The remaining buildings from supply houses and worker quarters show how the coal processing worked in daily operations. These structures give a sense of the hard working lives of the people employed here.
The site is freely accessible and offers informational panels on-site that explain the production processes. Good footwear is recommended since the terrain is uneven and spreads across larger areas.
The site preserves two different oven types that show how production techniques evolved over time. These side-by-side systems document an important technological advancement in the industry.
