“Miners Died and Widows Cried: The Barnes-Hecker Mine Disaster” will take place on Wednesday, August 14, at 7 p.m.

In 1926 in the Upper Peninsula, 51 men perished when a dynamite blast released a torrent of water and mud into the Barnes-Hecker iron mine near Ishpeming. The disaster widowed 42 women and left 132 children without fathers. Join us to discover the story of Michigan’s worst mining disaster.
