Historical Society outlines Birdman Effigy Mound plaque plan; board to coordinate placement with Public Works
Summary
Members of the Historical Society presented proposed text and placement plans for a Birdman Effigy Mound plaque and will work with Public Works Director Matt Kahl to determine installation location; no board action was taken at the March 3 meeting.
Historical Society members David Stanfield and Wayne Barsness presented information to the Village Board on March 3 about a proposed plaque for the Birdman Effigy Mound in a village park. The presentation described the plaque concept and requested that village staff work with the Historical Society on a suitable placement. Public Works Director Matt Kahl was identified as the staff contact to coordinate placement and logistics. The board treated the item as informational only and took no formal action.
Why it matters: The Birdman Effigy Mound is a local landmark and the plaque would create interpretive context for park visitors. The Historical Society and Public Works will coordinate next steps; no installation timeline or funding details were provided in the minutes.
