We achieved something MONUMENTAL on Labor Day Weekend.

Labor Day already gives us plenty of reasons to celebrate the national labor movement, but if you were with us this year in Matewan, Clothier, or Marmet, you know it was extra special. Thanks to those of you who were with us in body and in spirit. Our history and stories were on proud display…

UMWA Local 1440's Building Dedication Ceremony was a huge success!

On June 12, UMWA Local 1440 named the building at 401 Mate Street, where the museum is located, the Cecil E. Roberts Building in honor of the president of the United Mine Workers of America for his many years of service in the American labor movement, and especially his efforts to help Local 1440 secure their pensions and healthcare.
