Steamtown NHS (National Heritage Site) is in Scranton, Pennsylvania - a town & state very much based on coal & the 19th century industrial revolution in the US.   Steamtown has taken on much of the Vermont-based collection formerly at Steamtown USA, the finances, buildings & local support for which had collapsed.   As a National Heritage Site, Steamtown is part of & one of the National Parks, just like Yellowstone or Yosemite.  It's worth reading the history of the formation & politics behind Steamtown on Wikipedia, which also covers the exhibits.
