Streetscape and Monument Design
The Village of Mackinaw City, MI welcomes you to participate in the Ironworkers Walk of Fame project. This extraordinary tribute commemorates and celebrates the legends and stories of Ironworkers and Mackinac Bridgemen from North America. Specially designed and engraved bricks are imbedded in the sidewalks adjacent to a monument area on North Huron Avenue.
 
Renowned iron sculptor Thomas Moran recently presented this monument design for the Ironworkers Walk of Fame project. The monument has four components. The 25ft globe represents the “We Build the World” creed of the Ironworker profession. The spokes of the globe are made of I beams. The Ironworker characters, 2 men and 1 woman, are 7ft tall and constructed out of ironworker tools and components.   
The monument will be built in stages. The 1st stage is the stand alone character in front of the globe. This figure is currently being constructed and will be unveiled at the 2010 Ironworkers Festival on August 13th, at 3pm, in Mackinaw City, MI.  The monument dedication and inductee ceremony is open to the public.
