Port Edwards is abuzz with a historic endeavor: moving the John Edwards statue to a new location at the high school. District Administrator James Bena teams up with a descendant of Edwards, Leslie Arendt, and 3D artist and sculptor Ben Jennings to relocate the statue from its secluded spot. With roots stretching back to the 1800s, the statue symbolizes the community's rich paper industry heritage. The Alexander Charitable Foundation spearheads the project, ensuring the statue's preservation and prominence. As back-to-school preparations unfold, this statue move next summer promises to spotlight local history and community pride.
