Description: The Mothers' Memorial in Ashland, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania features a bronze sculpture based on the famous James McNeill Whistler painting: An Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1, commonly known as Whistler's Mother. The memorial honors all mothers of the United States, and is the only one of its kind in the world. The Mothers' Memorial was commissioned and erected during the misery of the Great Depression by the Ashland Boys' Association, and dedicated on Labor Day weekend 1938. The Work Progress Administration (WPA) completed the stone masonry work.
