Oshkosh's Library Lions, Sawyer and Harris, are Turning 100


The original main entrance of the Oshkosh Public Library is flanked by two bronze lions, known as Sawyer and Harris for the names of benefactors carved above them on the building.  

Sawyer and Harris will be 100 years old this October, and the library would like them to receive picture postcards from other lion sculptures and other libraries wishing then a happy birthday. 

Anyone who’d like to be part of this project can send a card to Sawyer and Harris, c/o Oshkosh Public Library, 106 Washington Ave., Oshkosh WI 54901-4985.

Everything you always wanted to know about Sawyer and Harris.
