On April 27, 2021 a new addition was installed in the Garden. It is a monument featuring the Polish Eagle and an American Bald Eagle joining in flight signifying the bonds between the two countries and cultures. The eagles were sculpted by renowned Polish American artist Andrew Pitynski who passed away just after completing this sculpture. It was forged locally at Studio Foundry. A proper dedication is being planned for later this year.Until you can visit the Polish Heritage Garden in person, enjoy these images.
