Name: Kneeling Miner
"During "Mining Days" and other special celebrations, Webb City rolls-out the only remaining, and fully restored trolly. This late 1800's beauty travels around the lake and fairgrounds and is located at the Chamber of Commerce building at the south end of Main Street off Hwy. 171. The demise of the trolly service was speeded-up by the advent of affordable personal motorcars in the 1930's. (Below): "The Kneeling Miner" was recently re-bronzed and dedicated, and along with the giant "Praying Hands Monument, is also located on Hwy. 171. The Parade and other events were held the next day (photos below), along with many other events held at the Fairgrounds. Over 20 Marching Bands made this a big event on 66!" Text Source: (
