Mark your calendars—this one’s BUCKET LIST worthy!

We’re throwing it back to one of the biggest, boldest machines Ohio’s ever seen—Big Muskie—with a brand-new Ohio Department of Natural Resources Historical Marker!

📅 Monday, June 9
🕚 11 a.m.
📍 4470 State Route 78, McConnelsville (Jesse Owens State Park – Big Muskie Bucket)

Big Muskie wasn’t just big—it was legendary. At 27 million pounds, this earth-moving beast helped shape Ohio’s mining story. Now, we’re honoring that legacy (and looking to the future) with a marker that digs into the history, the people, and the powerful transformation of this landscape.

💬 Hear the stories.
📸 Snap pics with the 220-cubic-yard bucket.
🌱 Celebrate the journey from coal country to conservation success.

Don’t miss your chance to stand where history—and heavy machinery—made their mark.
