Ashland, Pennsylvania - Mom-ument - Whistler's Mother statue Granite steps actually are quite tall and go up several flights. There must've been alot of man-hours involved in cutting and setting so many stones. The interesting thing is this monument was slipped in right between two homes in a residential district. Steps lead up above the statue further up the hill, making me wonder where they went?
The town itself is cute and scenic. The view from the statue is a nice direct view down one of the large avenues. Not much else specifically to see in the small town though. [May Snyder, 08/04/2008]
Ashland, Pennsylvania - Monument to Mothers Recently discovered the self-proclaimed only "Monument to Mothers" at the top of a hill in Ashland, Pennsylvania. It's on the way to Centralia (the town on top of the mine fire). It features a large statue "reproducing" Whistler's Mother at the top of a steep set of stairs, surrounded by a small park perfect for reflecting on the debt of gratitude owed to those who bore and raised us. [VG569, 08/02/1998][RA: A required stop next to Centralia, town atop a burning mine fire.]
