Amazon Army
In 1921, thousands of wives, daughters, mothers, sisters and sweethearts of striking coal miners in Southeast Kansas marched in protest against unfair labor practices in the local coal mines. The women’s march made headlines across the nation and the New York Times christened them the “Amazon Army.”
The women, mostly immigrants from southeast Europe, were effective and halted work in the mines for three days.

The Franklin Community Park is in bloom! The perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon or evening. Walk the path (6 laps = 1 mile), have a picnic, bring the kids to play on the playground equipment, shoot a few hoops or just enjoy a walk through the park enjoying the beautiful newly designed and restored memorial garden. It is stunning. Thanks to John Martel for his hard work, planning and design. He leads a team of volunteers and staff to create this beautiful and peaceful park. We hope you'll enjoy it. The park is owned and maintained by Miners Hall Museum Board of Trustees.
