The Indian's Grinding Stone

Art Kolstad, who is the last living member of his immediate family and still residing in Mead Township, has a humongous grinding stone in his back yard. At one time, it was in the field next to his house, but was moved off for plowing ease. It was tipped upside down at that time and pictured above in its present position. This stone could be righted, and the Indian history surrounding it, preserved. It is located in an area half way between the Eau Claire and Black River.  Art says the Indians used the vicinity as a campground. The stone was apparently in the center of their community at that time. He has a wonderful collection of arrowheads which he, and his father before him, found in their fields. He would like it righted and placed at the museum in Greenwood where more people could appreciate it.  If you are interested in helping with this project, please contact us.
