44 ton shovel. Look at a pic, it will save you the bug bites on your legs. The park down the street is a beautiful place. The town is pretty dead. Roads are real tore up, kinda looks like a old ghost town. Not a whole lot here.

Big Mouth, World's Largest Coal Shovel sits just across the street from city all for Rich Hill, Mo. This Shovel was used to shovel coal. The Shovel by its self weights 44 ton. Nice little stop to stretch your legs and take some pictures. There is also a caboose on the site.
