Join the Waupun Historical Society, Waupun Fine Arts, and a host of other community members in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Lorado Taft's "Recording Angel" at Forest Mound Cemetery. The 12-ton bronze statue presented to Waupun by Clarence Addison Shaler in 1923 in memory of his wife Blanche.

Visitors will be encouraged to visit 6 other statues at various locations in the City, also given by Mr. Shaler to the community where he was a successful industrialist.

To complete the day in Waupun, visitors may attend a free performance of "A Poison Pen Letter to An Angel" in the auditorium at City Hall, 201 E. Main St, performed by the Waupun Community Players at 6 and 8 p.m. The original drama tells the story of the "diabolical scheme" and blackmail suffered by Blanche's daughter when she received a letter threatening to blow up the statue and kill her husband. Fortunately, the plot was foiled, but it survives as prime dramatic mischief.
