92 County Walk- Marshall County
Artist: David Jemerson Young, Jeff Laramore
Date created: 2001
A mixture of quaint country atmosphere and scholarly excellence are characteristic of life in Marshall County. The landscape is home to the second largest natural lake in Indiana, Lake Maxinkuckee. Blueberries are grown throughout the county, producing about one-third of all blueberries grown in the state. Culver, IN is noted for academic excellence through the Culver Military Academy located there.
In this decidedly cerulean piece, multitudes of blue piers spring forth from the waters of a vast lake. Colored glass marbles are used to represent blueberries that sit atop the blue glass.
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.
