Raven Hill Cemetery

Local legend has it that the Raven Hill Cemetery within the Grapevine community is haunted.[2] A blue orb supposedly appears there and follows people.[3]

Grapevine Mine

During the 1920's the community hosted a coal mine.[4] The mine continued operation into the 1950's under management of the Black Star Coal Company,[5] and later the Sheffield and Coy Coal Company. In May 1958 the mine was the site of a fire that began under fallen material in an abandoned section of the mine.[6] The mine was closed but subsequently re-opened under management of the Five Star Coal Company in 1962.[7]
