Overview

Life size bronze monument honoring the workers of Hoover Dam during the Great Depression located on the Main Street of Boulder City, NV near Hoover Dam.

Goals

This sculpture was designed to break the myth that workers were buried alive during the building of Hoover Dam. The manner in which the dam was built would have made this impossible.
