The black marble walls hold the names of those men who worked in the coal mines in the Frederick area. Many of the names are still prevalent family names in the community today. The last of the mining operations in the area shut down in the 1960s, and the number of surviving miners are dwindling.

Frederick’s Roots - 7
Jay Tschetter
sculpted brick, 2007
Location: Crist Park, at the corner of 5th Street and Main
Commissioned as a part of the Town’s Centennial celebrations, the work depicts the three major elements that shaped Frederick’s beginnings – the railroad that ran through the town that brought people and supplies, and the agriculture and coal mines that gave rise to the community. Also sometimes known as “the Centennial Wall,” the work was done by Jay Tschetter of Nebraska in an unusual process that involves sculpting images in relief in soft brick wall, which is then taken apart, fired to harden the brick, and then reassembled on site.
