Purpose

CREATE THE AD HOC SAUK COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY COMMITTEE ON MAN MOUND & YELLOW THUNDER

Background

The Sauk County Historical Society created a committee on Man Mound and Yellow Thunder to begin the initial stages of discussion for a Master Plan. Yellow Thunder Park was established to honor Chief Yellow Thunder. Towards the west of the park stands a stone memorial created by the Sauk County Historical Society and the Twentieth Century Club of Baraboo to honor Chief Yellow Thunder. Man Mound is a National Historic Landmark and is a rare man-shaped effigy mound located cast of Baraboo.

            In conjunction with the vision created by One Sauk Naturally, the Committee was created by the Sauk County Historical Society but should be formalized by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors due to the impact and the composition of the Committee.
