Whitewater Watershed Lego Model |
Whitewater State Park partnered with Winona State University and other organizations to build a to-scale topographic model of the Whitewater Watershed constructed entirely out of LEGO bricks, more than 26,000 of them! While the permanent home of the model is the Visitor Center at Whitewater State Park, the model will travel around the community to libraries, farmers markets, and fairs to engage folks in water conversations. Friends of Whitewater serve as docents interpreting the model. |
