As I arrived at The Lost Children State Park, I noticed a peculiar sense of serenity surrounding the place. Located in the depths of Mifflin County, this park used to be a coal mining site. It was shut down in the late 1800s when a mining disaster took the lives of many miners. The area was abandoned and forgotten until it was converted into a state park. The scenery was fascinating as I observed remnants of the mining structure still standing tall, covered in ivy and vines. The guide told me about the legend of lost children, believed to disappear without a trace under the old mining town. I found a strange peace in being amongst the desolate structures, a testament to the harsh realities of a bygone era.
