(KNZA)--The historical Tall Oak Indian Monument located on the south lawn of the Doniphan County Courthouse in Troy will be restored.
According to the unofficial minutes from Monday's Doniphan County Commission meeting, the Commission voted to have John Wood of Wood Works Restoration, in Denton, complete the project at a cost of $3,924.
The project will include repairing and sealing the cracks and splits in the wood to slow water penetration, along with cleaning the drainage system on the base of the monument.
The commission also voted to rent a 36-foot lift from Belt Rental-All, of St. Joseph, to complete the project at a cost of $1,029.
The monument was sculpted by Peter Toth from a burr oak log 67 inches in diameter. It was completed in November 1978 and dedicated a year later.
