A totem pole that was displayed in Legion Park from 1976 until the late 1990s has been restored by Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer member Marty Rausch and is now displayed in the garden at the west end of the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum. The pole was removed from Legion Park because it was so seriously rotted that it was unsafe for public display. After Raush discovered that it was stashed in a pile of timber he spent more than a year working to restore it to its original form.
