Description: This wooden coal tipple stands as a rare survivor of its type in the American West, showcasing mining technology from the late 1800s. Its purpose was to store and organize coal from the mine, sorting it as it flowed through the chutes. The tipple serves as a tangible link to the mining heritage of the region. Back in 1898, the Aladdin coal mining venture was part of a series of similar operations in the valley. However, after the neighboring railroad ceased operations, Aladdin, Wyoming, managed to persist as one of the few remaining mining operations—for a limited period.
