Visitor's Center
The Breaks' Visitor Center is a combined information center and comfort station. It houses mountain photographs, wildlife specimens, maps and books, an explanation of the park's unusual geological features, and an excellent coal exhibit. The coal exhibit shows how "black gold" was formed through natural processes some 200 million years ago and how miners risk their lives even today to bring the precious fuel to the surface.
No mountain park would be complete without a display regarding the mountaineer's most important crop (corn) which he both ate and drank. A working mill grinds corn into meal at the visitor center, and there's a moonshine still (not operational) that shows how the early settlers mixed work and recreation.
