DESIGN We are looking for any and all Marines and persons related to Marines with degrees and/or backgrounds in Memorial landscaping and design architecture to donate and submit various drawings and models of their design ideas of the Memorial. We are not sure yet about the size or placement of the Memorial in the park but we think it will be no less than 10ft X 10ft. Please try to incorporate at least one curved bench facing the Memorial in two corners of the Memorial site, if possible in all four corners. The material we will use to build the actual Monument will be the donated "Wausau Red" granite (visit the sponsors web site for details). The benches will probably be made of precast concrete, the Memorial ground cover and base to set the Memorial onto probably will be stamped concrete. Words and pictures will be engraved directly on the monument related to Tun Tavern and the US Marines Birth and History. We want and need this Memorial to be maintenance free. Try not to include any materials that will need to be replaced or regularly maintained. Please use this information as your guide, email Michael L. Emerson for more details and to let him know that you are going to be submitting a design. Michael will be happy to help you any way he can. If you are interested, we will give you ideas we have come up with and would be a good reference point for you to incorporate into your design. Once all of the designs are submitted the Memorial Committee will decide on the final design of the Memorial. |
