Project Overview
Artists Ken and Pat Larson designed and created a terra cotta arch that included a large agate hanging from the middle of the structure. Images drawn into the arch celebrate how Moose Lake has evolved form its humble beginnings as the home of Nemadji Tile and Pottery to today where it embraces information technology. The elaborate detail of the arch depicts the historical nature and cultural events that shaped Moose Lake. The City of Moose Lake provided funding to landscape around the sculpture and install a community digital display board updating the public of the current cultural and historical events in the community.
