COVID Remembrance Memorial on display

The Remembrance Memorial, an art installation designed to honor the victims of COVID-19 in Nevada County, will be on display at Victory Plaza in Truckee from June 18 until Aug. 12.

The memorial is a 6-foot-high column woven of natural elements from Nevada County with a dedication inscribed on local granite. Manzanita rings, engraved to honor each of the 75 lost community members, hang from willow branches.

Community members will have an opportunity to share condolences and their own messages of losses during Covid on paper leaves they can add to an interactive art piece. Condolences and obituaries of Nevada County community members who have died from COVID may also be posted at nevadacountyremembers.com.
