BALDWIN, WI – For those of you following the progress of the Blue Star Memorial under construction at Windmill Park, in Baldwin you may be wondering when the marker will be installed on the post. After consulting with our partners at the Cave-Dahl American Legion Post 240, the marker will be installed next spring followed by an appropriate dedication ceremony recognizing those men and women who have served our nation. The tentative date for the dedication is set for Thursday, May 15, 2025.
Currently 103 engraved pavers are part of the sidewalk leading up to the marker. If you want to recognize a veteran or purchase a block to honor another important person in your life that can still be done. Bricks purchased at this time will be installed before the dedication ceremony. To order online, visit the Botany Belles & Beaus website or Facebook page or contact Ruth Anderson.
The Blue Star Marker program was established in 1945 by the National Garden Club which the Botany Belles and Beaus Garden Club is affiliated with. The markers pay a tribute to the armed forces which have defended the United States of America. The marker in Baldwin is a joint undertaking of the garden club and the Cave-Dahl American Legion Post 240 and Auxiliary Unit 240.
