In preparation for Iowa County’s 200th anniversary in 2029 the Dodgeville VFW, and the Legion are collaborating to enhance the area surrounding the Iowa County Courthouse. The planned improvements will highlight the four key elements of this region of the state: Mining, Agriculture, History, and Scenic Beauty. Mining and Agriculture will be showcased at the back of the courthouse, while Scenic Beauty and History will be highlighted in the front. This landscaping effort is a major undertaking, with the veteran’s memorial serving as a significant tribute to our county’s veterans and rich history. The groups are looking for donations (or temporary display agreements) of old agricultural equipment and mining equipment to include in the display. To help fund this project, the county along with the Dodgeville VFW and Legion, are launching a fundraising campaign, with a major focus on the veteran’s memorial upgrade. One of the primary fundraising efforts is a Donation Brick Program. Each brick is engraved with a personal message, name, or dedication and placed in the Plaza area to recognize the service and sacrifice of those who have served. VFW Post 7345 and the Dodgeville Legion are actively assisting with fundraising efforts for these donation bricks.
