(Fort Washakie, WY) – Construction has started on the gazebo for the new Path of Honor Wind River Reservation Veterans Memorial Sculpture Garden.
Located next to the Frank B. Wise Business Plaza, this community-based project is dedicated to honoring all veterans and active military members who have lived or currently live on the Wind River Reservation.
The initial announcement about the memorial was released in January 2020 and shared the following design plan.
Visitors can enter the garden through the east, seeing monuments silhouetted against the Wind River Mountains to the west. The path through the garden will include four stately stone sculptures, and native plants will be scattered along the trail. As visitors walk forward, towards the mountains, they will pass the four unique monuments, each dedicated to a different era of service. The names of local veterans will be etched on each stone.
