Wibaux Park Fountain Restoration
Donation protected
One of Miles City's most cherished landmarks, the Florence Stacy Memorial Fountain in Wibaux Park is in need of restoration. The fountain was built in 1915 by L. W. Stacy in honor of his daughter Florence, who had recently passed away.
Ms. Lilly Cruise, former Miss Montana proposed full restoration of the fountain to the City of Miles City earlier this year. The City Historic Preservation Officer, Connie Muggli and the Public Works Director Scott Gray are coordinating the restoration of the fountain.
The goal of the project is to fully restore the fountain so that many future generations can enjoy the lovely sound of bubbling water in the beautiful setting of Wibaux Park. The restoration will preserve the beautiful marble center fountain and rim, and will include an accessible sidewalk with benches to relax on. Those wishing to donate a memorial bench to commemorate a loved one can also do so by contacting the City Parks Department or Historic Preservation Office at City Hall.
All donations are tax deductible, and will be used to match grant funds and in-kind contributions. The City Parks Department will manage the project to ensure the highest quality materials and workmanship.
Please join us in this effort to return this beautiful fountain to working order for the enjoyment of many Miles City's future generations as was Mr. Stacy's intent! Thank you!
