This has been a long and winding road, from the demolition of the bank building to the stabilization of the adjacent landslide, but we are so excited to announce the unveiling of Pound’s Monument to Labor! This new public stage features community-designed brick masonry and stained glass that reflects Pound’s past and hopes for the future.

We hope to see you in downtown Pound on Friday, April 17!
