The Praying Hands, a statue that stands 32 feet high and weighs over 100 tons, located in Webb City, Missouri, was one of "must see" attractions on my list during our eastbound adventure on Route 66 from Oklahoma.
"During the late 1800s and early 1900s Webb City was part of the "Tri-State Mining District" at the time the world's largest and most productive lead and zinc mining field. The area remains surrounded by chat piles that are used primarily in road-building." Wikipedia.
