The mural was the brainchild of Laurie Tenpas, Nekoosa High School’s art teacher and united local artists, business people, students, the Ho-Chunk nation, retirees, and interested residents.
The mural was funded through donations from groups, businesses and individuals, as well as a Community Foundation School Plus grant and a Nekoosa Progress Fund grant through Incourage. Laurie tells you where her inspiration came from and some of the stories that the mural tells.
We’d love to
hear from you.
