Morton Grove Historical Society Indian Marker Tree Carving...Part One!

Morton Grove Historical Museum - 6148 Dempster Street, Morton Grove, IL 60053 Saturday, September 21 from 12 noon to 3pm. The Morton Grove Historical Society has commissioned artist Eric Widitz to carve a statue on site of a Potawatomi Native American from a saved 14 foot remnant of the Indian Marker Tree that used to be on Beckwith Road near the train.  With help and donations from many in the community, the Society saved this portion of the white oak tree for later use.  Come see the artist create the sculpture on site from 12 noon to 3pm on Saturday, September 21, 2013 (and complete the project on Saturday, September 28 from 9am to 12 noon).  All are welcome and donations to the project are welcome to help light the piece and install a plaque.
