As a part of the Centennial Celebrations, Venice Area Historical Society ("VAHS") is in partnership with Venice Area Beautification Inc. ("VABI") to raise funds for the commission of a statue of John Nolen. The bronze statue of Nolen will be seated on a bronze bench, holding the bronze version of his city plan of Venice. Bronzeman, a California company, will cast the statue. The statue will be located downtown in Centennial Park.

Stop back periodically to check our "temperature" on the fundraising thermometer.
