Acclaimed Youngstown sculptor Susan Geissler has announced plans for a bronze monument, to be erected at North Tonawanda’s Gateway Park. Titled “New Beginnings,” the $425,000 project will depict a family of immigrants arriving in the Lumber City by a circa-1870s canal boat to begin their new life in America.
The initial phase of fundraising for the monument was recently announced at the North Tonawanda History Museum, which is partnering with Geissler on the project.
Contributions toward the project may be forwarded to the N.T. History Museum, 712 Oliver St., North Tonawanda, NY 14120, marked “New Beginnings Monument.”
Pictured are Niagara County Legislator Richard Andres, Geissler, Peter Henderson, and N.T. Museum Director Howard Roeske.
