Great News! The Marco Polo Monument Plaque Has Been Found!

We’re thrilled to share that the plaque from the Marco Polo Monument has been recovered. Thanks to a wonderful individual who once played on one of my teams, it was found in a parking lot and safely returned.

This is a significant moment for our organization. It took decades of effort and a 100-page research paper to achieve this national distinction for the monument, making the plaque’s recovery especially meaningful.

As a non-profit organization, we are now seeking donations to help with restoration and preservation efforts. Donations can be sent by e-transfer to:

📧 marcopolofund1851@gmail.com

We are also looking for someone with the skills and experience to properly reattach the plaque to the monument. If you can help, please contact us.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this important project over the years. Together, we can ensure this piece of history remains protected for future generations.
