Longwall mining damage image of James Kinney Farmstead, showing
pre-restoration SHPO meeting. (Left to Right): Floyd Simpson and
Lisa Adkins. Floyd is standing close to the location of the original
log cabin built on the farm in 1795. The low concrete block structure
is built over top of the original dug water well which served the
log cabin. Until longwall mining took place, the pump at this well
provided all of the water for the barn (including a dairy operation
during the 1960's) and the main house. This well has been dry ever
since mining took place.
