And more than a dozen more registered as national landmarks? This presentation will include a historic overview of each location and why it was chosen to become a landmark. These sites include the Charles Manson House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Employers Mutual Headquarters/City Hall, Saint Stephens Church, The Exhibition Building at Marathon Park, the walls and entrance of Athletic Park, and Wausau’s newest landmark - Memorial Bridge.
The presentation will also include an overview of the landmarking process, both locally and nationally, from nomination to designation. Some of the benefits of becoming a landmark will also be explored.
