The sesquicentennial section of the Delano Sculpture Park is complete and dedicated to the Delano Community!

The ‘Sesquicentennial’ sculpture by James and Ryan Pedersen that depicts 4 pillars of Delano history: The Crow River, Agriculture, Industry and the Railroad. The negative space between each is 150.

On the retaining wall are Leanna Wurzer’s paintings of the same themes, embedded with photos of the 2,239 tiles that the community decorated over the last two years at 18 different events.

Below that are the Heritage Bricks that individuals had engraved with their names, families, businesses and organization to mark their place in Delano’s history.

Last but not least are the plaques on the wall recognizing our sponsors. CMAB, Cargill, and local SQ sponsors at the Legacy level.

Thank you to all involved to bring these projects to fruition.
