The Rock Springs Historical Museum Board has long since been an advocate for the public to know of the atrocities that occurred at Mine #5 in Rock Springs, Wyoming, on September 2, 1885. It has often been referred to as “The Chinese Massacre”. In our search for how to show respect to the miners that lost their lives that day, we have spent several years designing and researching what it should look like. We are pleased to have found Dr. Dudley Gardner who has captured the anguish and hurt from that dreadful day. Dr. Gardner presented that RSHMB with a sculpture befitting of that occurrence. We are thrilled to have that sculpture made into a bronze statue and we need YOUR help funding this project. We will be sponsoring this project through your generous gift of purchasing an engraved brick…or two! Bricks will be placed as the walking path around sculpture in the newly dedicated park off Bridger Avenue. We are pleased that Sweetwater School District #1 has so graciously donated a large parcel of land to the City of Rock Springs for this worthy cause. Please join us today to show your support (for a lifetime) for our history and to pay homage so nothing like this will happen again.
