Spirit of the Rivers Project

Spirit of the Rivers Project Manitowoc native, R. T. (Skip) Wallen and nationally recognized artist returns home to create a massive bronze sculpture on the shores of Lake Michigan

Spirit of the Rivers is a monumental bronze sculpture group to be situated on the Lake Michigan shore between Manitowoc and Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Celebrating the culture and history of the earliest inhabitants, the monument reminds us that people lived on this shore for countless generations before the first axe struck timber to develop our present cities. The birch bark canoe, held aloft upon th

e shoulders of the portageur, stands as a tribute to the first vessels to ply these waters and foreshadows our rich maritime history. The beauty and grandeur of Spirit of the Rivers will bring pride to area residents and attract visitors to our lakefront for generations to come. It will be a newsworthy undertaking as a collaborative public art project between the cities of Manitowoc and Two Rivers and serve as an educational resource for the communities.
