The Wabash and Mississippi Rivers create natural landmarks such as Shanty and Listen Creek Falls along their weathered banks. Located nearby, the city of Wabash became famous in 1880 as the first city in the world to have a municipally owned electrical light to illuminate its square.

This piece shows flowing steel lines standing vertically on the ground with an electric light held in the center. The thin pieces of steel mesh come together to create a figure-like shape.

Designers Jeff Laramore and David Jemerson Young of 2nd Globe, an Indianapolis–based artistic company, designed all 92 of the county sculptures featured on the outside of the Indiana State Museum. Their designs narrate the counties’ famous natives, historically significant events, or their cultural characteristics, and were fabricated and installed by various Indiana sculptors, carvers, glassworkers, metalworkers, and other artisans.
