Veterans Memorial Arbor and Pentagon Plaza
We are very proud to honor veterans through our Veterans Memorial Arbor spanning the 125-foot dam on our lake. It includes a ceremonial area overlooking the water and features all of the service branch flags, as well as the U.S. flag. The arbor has comfortable seating areas and is covered by flowering vines during the summer. It also features supporting cast iron columns with a unique appearance inspired by Prairie School architecture, which is most commonly associated with renown architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Even though the arbor has already been built and dedicated, the public is still invited to become an important part of it. A $3000 donation will purchase a bench (one of four remaining stone benches at the Pentagon Plaza or one of six remaining steel metal benches at the arbor) or the Coast Guard flag that will include a plaque honoring an individual veteran or group of veterans you wish to remember. This includes all who have served our country and those who are currently serving now.
Brick pavers are also available with a contribution of $350 each. The pavers are 9" x 9" and can be customized with four lines of text (with up to 15 characters per line including spaces). Also, there is a special paver that can include a Military designation and military service information. (Cost is $500 plus $85 set up fee). Click here to go to the Brick Paver Order Form.
All of our columns and flagpoles for this project have been sold. If you want to be a part of our Veterans Memorial Arbor, please let us know soon -- before the remaining benches and pavers are all taken
