Cuddy's Kooky Monolith: Bits of Uncommon Wisco History

The Patrick Cuddy Memorial, a brainchild of American artist Felix Weldon, stands proudly in Sheridan Park, Cudahy, Wisconsin. This bronze beauty features none other than Cuddy himself, decked out and standing tall. If you take a gander at the base, you'll come across a little secret – an engraving that reads: 'PATRICK CUDAHY', 'Founder of the City of Cudahy', and 'Lover of shrubs, flowers, trees'. And, if you look closely, there's a shamrock symbol – a sneaky wink to a man who was far from your average business tycoon.
