Big Muskie’s Bucket in McConnelsville, Ohio is part of a memorial honoring miners in what is now called, Miners’ Memorial Park. Its information center shares the history of the Central Ohio Coal Company. “Big Muskie” used to be the biggest earth-moving machine in the world. Today, you can sense its size by standing inside the enormous bucket which is now a roadside tourist attraction.
