Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Host visitors from May 1 to October 1 - school groups, bus tours, motorcycle and car tours. Educate the people on the different type of rock sculpture as there are four different examples on the property. Take care of the general maintenance and get volunteers to plant flowers and take care of them, sometimes the FFA students, sometimes others.

The Friends of Prairie Moon is the caretaker, host, and maintenance committee for The Herman Rusch Sculpture Garden and Museum, the Mehringer Exhibit, and the Fred Schlosstein Exhibit. It is a roadside attraction for tourism and education with three different types of rock sculpture created by four different people. It is considered "naive" / "outsider" art as the people who created the sculptures were not trained artists. Sometimes it is considered depression art because it was created with left over broken dishes, glass bottles, rocks, cement, and left-over paint. We host car clubs, school groups, and bus tours. This past year we had cement walkways and a parking lot installed. We are supported by donations from visitors and the Ruth Arts Foundation. The property was given to the Township Milton, the local governing body of the township.

Governance Explanations

Part VI, Line 19

Upon request, people are invited to the building during the summer to look over records. The building is not heated or air conditioned and is closed from October 1 - May 1.

Part VI, Line 19

Part of our investment portfolio is to be considered an endowment fund. We have estimated that we can keep $350,000 as an endowment fund, after we reroof and reside the building. We believe we are an asset to the community and want to continue to make the site available to people as they travel on the Great River Road Hwy 35 and we intend to continue making the public aware of what this small ommunity has to offer. A great get away - peace and quiet - a sacred place - a refuge. The Herman Rusch Sculpture Garden is unique because it is not religious in nature like many rock gardens in the midwest.

Part VI, Line 1A

The site is maintained by a small group of retirees from May 1 to October 1 -- we are supported with donations and grants from Ruth Arts.

Part VI, Line 6

The care of the place is funded by donations put into a donation box on site, and an annual grant of $75,000 from the Ruth Arts Foundation. There were two donations last year due to changes in officers and failure to file a report on time.

Part VI, Line 6

As stated previously our goal is to make this wayside stop ( a former dance hall and musum) maintenance free for the future caretakers. We had sidewalks and a parking lot put in this past year and revamped the outdoor bathroom. Next year we would like to reroof and reside the dance hall with steel siding, etc., so that it is maintenance free but keep the original look.

IRS990/Desc0A $5000 grant was given to the Fountain City Business Group, to help fund a bandshell in the park. Twice a month during the summer, the FCBG is hosting music and food trucks, to encourage people to bring their lawn chairs to the park, have something to eat and listen to music. And the music is sponsored by various businesses. Hopefully, the bandshell will be an attraction and the band concerts will be a permanent event in the area.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0A group is being formed to raise funds for the library that will be in the newly renovated community center. A grant was written and granted for $1,700,000 to rennovate the 103 year old brick building to install an elevator and five handicapped accessible bathrooms. The building has a historical bowling alley with human pin setters that are still employed for the local bowling leagues. It has been featured in several PBS documentaries. Completion date is summer 2026.

IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0The Kohler Foundation and The RDK Foundation purchased and restored the Herman Rusch Sculpture Museum and Sculpture Garden. It was then gifted to theTownship of Milton. There was a lack of interest from the local historical societies in having one more "thing to take care of", but there was a very small group of people that was interested, and that group started the Friends of Prairie Moon and took over the maintenace of the site. Our local judge, Gary Schlosstein, who is now 93 years old was our president, Joe Greshik, was our treasurer (now deceased), Marj Kammueller was the secretary, and Bill Kammueller (also now deceased) mowed the lawns. He had worked for the Kohler Foundation helping restore the sculptures, cutting glass, making little doors and windows for the Schlosstein buildings, etc. We are now trying to make it as lovely as we can and as maintenance free as possible. We have recently spent a lot of money on cement sidewalks and parking lot, including a sidewalk to the outdoor restroom so that bus tour people with wheelchairs and walkers can walk around and enjoy the site. There has also been some benches and metal picnic tables on a cement pad that will eventually have a roof to protect people while they eat their lunch. Cell phone reception is sketchy and that is a good thing because the view is awesome - especially now with the fall colors beginning their spectactular show.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Upon request, people are invited to the building during the summer to look over records. The building is not heated or air conditioned and is closed from October 1 - May 1.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Part of our investment portfolio is to be considered an endowment fund. We have estimated that we can keep $350,000 as an endowment fund, after we reroof and reside the building. We believe we are an asset to the community and want to continue to make the site available to people as they travel on the Great River Road Hwy 35 and we intend to continue making the public aware of what this small ommunity has to offer. A great get away - peace and quiet - a sacred place - a refuge. The Herman Rusch Sculpture Garden is unique because it is not religious in nature like many rock gardens in the midwest.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The site is maintained by a small group of retirees from May 1 to October 1 -- we are supported with donations and grants from Ruth Arts.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The care of the place is funded by donations put into a donation box on site, and an annual grant of $75,000 from the Ruth Arts Foundation. There were two donations last year due to changes in officers and failure to file a report on time.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4As stated previously our goal is to make this wayside stop ( a former dance hall and musum) maintenance free for the future caretakers. We had sidewalks and a parking lot put in this past year and revamped the outdoor bathroom. Next year we would like to reroof and reside the dance hall with steel siding, etc., so that it is maintenance free but keep the original look.
