92 County Walk- Allen County

This sculpture depicts an abstract tree trunk encircled by fragmented red arrows jutting out in various directions. The circle rests in a bed of horizontal lines forming a rectangle. The composition is made out of cast red glass, bronze, and steel. The icon attempts to communicate an apple tree in tribute to Johnny Appleseed, and the arrows pelting a fort, symbolizing the historic conflict in Allen County among the British, French, Native Americans, and American Settlers. This icon also contains a camouflaged form of a Native American archer, drawing his bowstring taut.

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