Veterans Memorial Gardens preparing for new kiosk
SEELEY LAKE – In preparation for the new kiosk, some of the arches at the Seeley Lake Veterans Memorial Gardens north of Seeley Lake have been removed. The wooden plaques honoring local veterans are being fixed up and are being returned to the families that purchased them.
Once the permit is approved, Veterans and Families of Seeley Lake will start on the kiosk. The new memorial will be a square gazebo-style structure with wooden support beams and a metal roof. The wooden nameplates will be replaced with computer-engraved metal ones, which will be featured on four double-sided boards in the gazebo.
