McFarland Luncheon
|
|
Proudly dedicated in 1998, the Ernest W. McFarland Memorial
at Wesley Bolin Park in the State Capitol complex fell into severe
disrepair. Instead of repairing the monument, the McFarland Memorial
Restoration Fund decided to revise and renew the memorial to
assure greater longevity and lower maintenance while interpreting
Ernest W. McFarland’s achievements in terms of relevance in the lives of
today’s visitors. Join members of the Fund, the project architects, and
historian as they detail the methods they used to turn a deteriorating
memorial into opportunity to properly acknowledge one of Arizona’s
most important historical figures in this special preview of Ernest W.
McFarland and the American Dream.
