Mine War Site - Peabody Mine No. 58


Mine War Location


Former site of Peabody Mine No. 58 in Hewitville, IL. The mine was active from 1901 - 1952.

Mass picketing occurred here during the mine war. While the PMA was able to close the mine, eventually the picket line was broken with the help of the militia.
