Immigrant Monument

Carbon County coal pulled the world into Price. The mines of the Utah coalfields drew Greeks, Italians, Slavs, Japanese, and dozens of other nationalities into the canyons around town, making this one of the most ethnically varied corners of an otherwise homogeneous state. This monument, sculpted by Gary Prazen and dedicated in 1989, honors those immigrants — the labor and the cultures they carried into the coal camps. It's an unusual thing for a Utah marker to commemorate: not pioneers or prophets, but the foreign-born workers who dug the fuel the rest of the state ran on.
