Remembering Mather: How Mining Shaped Greene County
April 22 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Join CCJ on Sunday, May 18th from 1-4 pm for Remembering Mather: How Mining Shaped Greene County on the day before the 97th anniversary of the tragic Mather Mine Disaster. The event will take place at the Liar’s Den in Mather Park.
We want to commemorate the tragic event by building community with free food, dessert, kids activities, music, and an informative slideshow presentation about the historical events of that day and what that means for us now. It will be a day to appreciate miners of Greene County and their contributions, both past and present.
We hope you can join us to remember, appreciate, and celebrate the people and history of the area where it all happened.
If you or your family have any stories, artifacts, or photos from the disaster or the time period of the mine please feel free to share those with us and others either before or at the event.
To share or to ask questions, please email our staff at info@centerforcoalfieldjustice or call our office at 724-229-3550.
