It is located on County Road 44, about {{convert|1.5|km}} west of Interstate 25 (US 85, 87 & 160), at County Road 615.

History

The repaired monument was unveiled at the UMWA's annual Ludlow ceremony on June 5, 2005.[2] The repairs to the monument were done by Griswold and Associates using stone from the original quarry. The carving of the new heads and arm was done by Marcel Maechler.[3]
