Interactive Song Plaque

Dedicated in Winter 2022

About the Artwork

At the intersection of Main and 2nd Street, in 2019, a group of citizens, many of whom were the impetus for the beginning of OAK, raised money and installed the sculpture “Nature’s Backyard” by local artist Michael Martino. For the dedication of our new city sculpture, another local, Janet Kirkpatrick,  wrote a song to the tune of “Country Road” by John Denver. It is a song about Onalaska. The Song Plaque is a stoneware plaque by artist Joyce Diveley, with a stained glass frame by artist Dani McAllister. Press the button on the plaque and hear a little history story about the song and the beautiful voice of Shealan Bahr singing the song!
