Indian Sculpture, Jackson, Missouri - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

The Indian Sculpture located at the corner of the Jackson Chamber of Commerce building at 125 E. Main, was carved by a famous local woodcrafter, August Birk. The idea of a carved wooden Indian came after months of deciding what to do with a decayed tree in the corner of the chamber’s lot. A contest was held and high school student, Megan Thiele, won with the design of an Indian Brave. The sculpture was completed in 2000; it has become a landmark for the town as well as a favorite place for a picture!
