Kentucky Coal Mining Museum in Harlan County switches to solar power

2. Ugh.

Not much about the Kentucky Coal Mining Museum screams modern. Its website — nay, websites — boasts early 1990s Web design, and its advertisement on YouTube appears to have been shot on a handheld camcorder. It sits next to City Hall on Main Street, the only thoroughfare of Benham, Ky. That’s to be expected from a museum dedicated to an old form of energy, which is what makes its own power methods so interesting.

That's to be expected? Why? Other history museums manage to have engaging, modern websites. Lazy writing.
