Reviews
"From the King's College website: The Miners Memorial is a permanent outdoor exhibit detailing the life of anthracite miners during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibit includes a Wall of Honor commemorating individual miners and breaker boys in perpetuity at the request of their descendants. It consists of five bronze tutorials mounted on black granite pedestals depicting the lives of coal patch miners and their families. The Wall of Honor is coordinated jointly by King’s College and the Wilkes-Barre based Anthracite Heritage Foundation."
