Totem Pole Restoration Project

My name is Kate Hart Nardone . I was born and raised in Millville N.J., where I have been a small business owner, and an active artist in the Glasstown Art Distric.

For the past two years I have been praying and hoping to get approval on restoring the Wheaton Art's "Totem" Pole that has been there for decades. It was originally hand made on the grounds by a group called The South Jersey Wood Carvers.

I personally am 33 years old, and have pictures with it at age four. 2013 was the last year it stood on the grounds.

Because the bottom portion that was in the ground was rotting, the pole had to be taken down for safety reasons. It broke my heart to see this part of Wheaton Village's history be lost.

I was contacted by the board of Wheaton Arts last night, that they have finally approved me to remove the pole, restore it with a team of local artists, and display it in the Millville Art District upon completion!

I am so happy and thrilled to be able to bring back a piece of our town's history!
