Coal Miner Statue
As a tribute to Glen Carbon's heritage, trustee Vic Darnell proposed that artist Ned Giberson be commissioned to create a six-foot bronze statue of a turn-of-the century coal miner. The statue would be placed in the lobby of the new village hall. The cost of the statue would be met by private contributions and the sale of a piece of land that had been donated to the village for one of the now-abandoned sewer plants.
