Memorial Park Design
Established in 2003 and funded through private donations, the Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund has created the Profiler Plaza, on the shore of Profile Lake, to commemorate the Old Man. The Plaza was designed by Shelly Bradbury and Ron Magers (in the photo to the right), who were chosen f rom over 40 applicants from across the nation by an independent jury of distinguished NH artists and citizens. Their submission was a unique combination of artistic sculpture and on-site experience, drawing inspiration from the original natural formation.
The Profiler Plaza was dedicated in June 2011 and includes seven steel "profilers" that recreate the visage of the Old Man looking over Franconia Notch as well as 1,000 paver stones whose engravings impart memories of many people who love the Old Man.
