Swiss Mennonite Memorial Site
The Swiss Mennonite Memorial Site was constructed just before the
100th anniversary celebration. From Moundridge, Kansas
the site is located four miles west on county road 451 (Arrowhead Road) and 1/2
mi. north, near the Hopefield Mennonite Chruch.
The major components of the site are 3 masonry walls, one to the north, one to
the west and one to the south, each with a brass plaque. To the east is the site
of the original immigrant house. In the center of the walls is a masonry pillar
with a metal spherical sculpture representing the Earth with a cross above. On each
of the four sides of the central pillar are brass plaques.
