Eagle Park
The Story
In October of 2018, the Town of Mills installed an 8,100-pound steel eagle at the corner of 2nd and Wyoming, Blvd. In the spring of 2018, the Mills Town Council was approached by local businessman, Rick Bonander, after he discovered the eagle for sale outside Kalispell, Montana. Mr. Bonander has been an advocate for community art and beautification projects in the greater Casper area for many years. Because this project aligns itself with the Town Council’s community beautification goals, the Council opted to make this the first monument of this type to be installed within the Town.
Mr. Bonander was able to secure the eagle for $75,000 and began seeking donations from Casper area businesses and interested residents to fund the project.
How to Help Us Finish the Project
The Town of Mills is currently seeking additional donations to complete the project which will include the full purchase of the eagle, landscaping and a giant metal plaque listing the names of donors ($1,000 and above). A naming and dedication ceremony will be planned once the project is complete.
Please contact Christine Trumbull, Mills Town Clerk, at (307) 234-6679 with questions, feedback, or to donate.
