A Tribute to Industry & Innovation


This monument commemorates Ohio's rich coal mining heritage by featuring the colossal Big Muskie's Bucket, a 240-ton remnant of the world's largest dragline.


Visitors are encouraged to step inside this massive relic and experience the engineering feats and industrial advancements that shaped the region's history.

The monument is a small point of interest, consisting of the monument itself and a parking lot across the road. In front of the monument is a small gathering area with the aforementioned informational plaque, as well as a camera for a photo opportunity inside of the bucket.

Notable loot[]

  • Abraxodyne intel:
    • One can be found in the back of a van on a wooden bridge, north-northeast of the bucket.
    • One can be found next to a skeleton sitting at a table, in the camp ground north-northwest of the bucket.
  • Potential Vault-Tec bobblehead spawn - On top of the back side of the bucket.

Appearances[]

Big Muskie's Bucket appears only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Burning Springs update.

Behind the scenes[]
