Soudan Mine Miners Memorial
The Soudan Mine Miners Memorial project honors the memories of the 143 men who lost their lives in or near the Soudan Underground Mine between 1884 and 1957. Until dedicated volunteers undertook this effort to document the details of their lives and deaths, many of these men’s names were unknown or forgotten. Now, for the first time, their names and stories are collected in one place, ensuring they are not forgotten. This Miners Memorial Project sheds light on an important, though somber, chapter of our area’s history.
