“Clearing the Haulway” The Miners and Their Lasting Legacy

This sculpture memorializes our solemn gratitude and respect for the miners of Sweetwater County. In sacrificing their blood, sweat, and tears – and sometimes even their lives – they have built a better future for themselves and for their families whose silent, anxious prayers await their safe return home after each long shift.

While this statue honors those miners who have died in Sweetwater County it also celebrates their proud tradition and lasting legacy that still exists in the coal and trona mines today. Their lasting legacy to us is a thriving, dynamic community, bright with opportunity and promise. May our own legacy uphold the enduring, noble tradition of… “The Miners.”
