Wine Street Memorial Park
Designed to honor local veterans of World War II and the Korean War, Wine Street Memorial Park is a beautiful neighborhood park dedicated in April 2008. This family park features a central memorial pad containing inscribed brick pavers surrounded by memorial benches, and includes a playground and a separate area with two picnic tables.
The town’s Veterans Recognition Committee was created to oversee the fundraising and placement of a monument in the central memorial pad. In June of 2011, a bronze statue titled “Homage” by Kansas sculptor Jim Brothers was unveiled and dedicated, a visually stunning and poignant memorial to those who served. A nationally renowned sculptor, Mr. Brothers created nearly all the bronze figures at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia.
