BICENTENNIAL TREE DEDICATION
April 30, 1976
On Arbor Day, April 30, 1976 a tree planting ceremony and dedication
was held at the Eagan City Hall, 3795 Pilot Knob Road. Mayor Herbert Polzin,
Councilman Ted Wachter and Clerk Alyce Bolke were present together with
members of the Dakota Ramblers South 4-H Club.
A sugar maple and a norway maple were planted by the 4-H club members.
The mayor dedicated the sugar maple as the "City of Eagan American
Revolution Bicentennial Tree." This will be registered with the Minnesota
State Horticultural Society so that in some future time it can be considered
for Heritage Tree Certification.
Members of the Dakota Ramblers South 4-H Club who assisted with this
project were, Richard Rodich, John Buehler, Rachel . Thorpe, Colin Thorpe,
• Bambi Wessel, Katie Deer and Brad Stricker.
These two trees will be a 1'ving monument of this Minnesota Bicentennial
