A few days after I found the Spirit of the River Sculpture in Two Rivers, the hubby and I were driving through Neenah down by Riverside Park and I was like I think there is a new statue in the park. I don't remember see an Indian there before. So after eating our Blizzards at Kimberly Point Park, we drove past Riverside Park on our way home.
As we got to the corner of N Park Ave and E Wisconsin Ave, sure enough there was a new statue. But it was definitely not an Indian. I thought maybe a Fur Trader or something. So I got out and investigated.
When I read the plaque, I was surprised. It was Davy Crockett. What in the world? Davy Crockett wasn't from Wisconsin. However after reading the entire plaque, he is here to remind us of the values he stood for -- Courage, Determination, and Standing Up for What's Right. So true and fitting. We all need to a reminder to be like Davy Crockett sometimes.
Although I was not expecting a statue of Davy Crockett to show up in Neenah but why not. We already of Washington and Jefferson plus Reagan and the Statue of Liberty. The next time you are in Riverside Park in Neenah go check out Davy Crockett and I'll keep my eye open for more random statues.
