Biography

Harrison Mayes is Notable.

Harrison was a Kentucky Coal Miner.

Together with his wife, Lilly, Mayes started his self-funded, life-time mission, following his recovery from an accident in the coal mines in his early twenties.

While most of Mayes' early signs, made from wood, cardboard or oil cloth, have disappeared, his main body of work, including tools and other artifacts, is preserved in The People's Building at the Museum of Appalachia.
