The phrase ‘Sesquicentennial Legacy Plaza’ is the new name for what’s been called (in various permutations) the Water St. parking lot pedestrian promenade.
I drove by Wed. aft and saw the posters in the new Ames Mill-shaped kiosk.
The description of the Plaza reads in part:
The Sesquicentennial Legacy Plaza, with the sculpture “Harvest” as its centerpeice, commemorates with an enduring presence Northfield’s sesquicentennial year 2005. Its granite pavers, informative monolith and benches offer a welcoming environment for visitors to the downtown riverfront.
Tonight at 5:30 pm, the dedication ceremony for the ‘Harvest’ sculpture will be held. See the press release in Hayes Scriven’s blog post titled Harvest Sculpture Dedication Thursday. It has all the details, including the speakers.
…some of the ‘granite pavers’ are rainbow gneiss representing Minnesota as far back as 3.5 billion years ago.
