The Wall of Remembrance honors those no longer with us. The wall serves as a permanent record and location where friends, fellow falconers, and family may honor the memory of a departed falconer among others who shared a passion for hawking. The monument is of simple design. The centerpiece is a bronze sculpture created by falconer Ross Matteson depicting a peregrine falcon lifting off to the heavens. On an adjacent wall, individual cast bronze plaques bear the name of each falconer honored. Each falconer is also memorialized with an entry into a Book of Remembrance displayed at The Archives and reproduced here below. We invite you to search or browse the entries and learn more about the people honored on the Wall.
