The Big Stack

A statue display outside the main viewing area/plaques honors the three blue collar workers behind copper production: the miners extracting the ore in nearby Butte, the smelters of Anaconda, and the railroad workers who got the refined copper to market. The miner looks like one of the Money for Nothing CGI men.
