Tom Quick Indian Killer Monument

You may as well remove this from your list -- it no longer exists. Vandals destroyed the monument in the night last summer and there are no plans to replace it. Yellow mums have been planted where the monument once stood.

[Karl Merchant, 10/05/1998]

The monument was rebuilt and several attempts were made to put it back, but the town repeatedly backed off under criticism. Tom Quick's monument currently stands in a storage shed. His bones are still buried in the traffic island that once held his monument, along with a plaque criticizing the whole thing.
