Jula Osten, the artist who hand-drew the new map of Pleasant Prairie, filmed behind-the-scenes videos during the map's creation and is highlighting โEaster Eggsโ hidden throughout. ๐บ๏ธ๐
One of the most significant symbols on this map is the top portion. Dedicated to natural habitats, including Hackbarth Trail and the Lake Michigan shoreline, it represents the 20% of land in Pleasant Prairie that is protected for its environmental and historical significance.
While the lower part showcases notable people and places from the past 181 years, the actual map portion gives you an idea of all the places there are to visit in the present โ whether you're a visitor or a lifelong resident.
More behind-the-scenes stories about Pleasant Prairie will be coming soon โ so, make sure to follow Visit Pleasant Prairie on FB and IG. ๐ข
Crop tops, ultra-soft t-shirts, Riso prints (signed by the artist!), and map stickers are available for purchase at the Visit Pleasant Prairie Welcome Center: 4721 75th St Suite 2, Pleasant Prairie, WI 53142. (Open from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday through Friday!)
