There’s a new memorial in downtown Hazard to honor those who lost their lives working
in the coal mines.
Hazard City Manager Tony Eversole tells WYMT the memorial in Triangle Park was a collaboration between the city, county and tourism officials.
He says there was significant research to collect the names of those who died in various parts of the coal mining industry.
He says the point is to thank them and their families.
You can find it in Triangle Park between the Farmer’s Market and the Hazard Police Department.
