Miners Memorial

Its a awesome part of history. I purchased some handmade items from local artists at the boutique. The driver there was fun and beutiful.

Great place to visit. Beautiful place

Miner’s Memorial, dedicated in July 2008, pays tribute to the immigrants who settled in Southeast Kansas and worked in the Weir-Pittsburg Coalfields of Cherokee and Crawford Counties. An estimated 10,000 men worked as miners in the area.nnThe Miner’s Memorial features a large bronze statue of an era miner, large black granite monuments with the names inscribed of the miners who worked in the Weir-Pittsburg Coalfields and stone walking path leading past several information kiosks that tell the story and history of the mining industry in Southeast Kansas.

we like to walk thru the memorial with our fog since we live so close.

Very nice memorial for them hard working miners..
