A blue sign with white lettering noting the execution of four mineworkers in 1877, referred to as 'Molly Maguires,' an alleged secret society of Irish mineworkers. These men were four of twenty Irishmen who were executed in Pennsylvania between 1877 and 1879 as part of one of the largest federal executions in US history. The sign in the photo stands in front of thick green bushes.
