Lafayette History Museum showcases the dynamic history of the area, from its roots in mining and farming to Lafayette’s recent growth into a vibrant city with its own unique identity. Housed in an 1890s coal miner’s cottage, the museum appeals to adults and children alike. Originally called the Lafayette Miners Museum, the board of directors changed the name to signify the lasting commitment to build and care for an inclusive record of not only mining history, but of the area as a whole. Therefore, the board didn’t want the logo to feature any coal mining-specific iconography. Instead, Red Egg chose to highlight the architectural gable detail from the historic cottage itself.
