1. Lisco Scout Cabin Marker
This building was built in 1947-48 by community volunteers, including the Boy Scouts and the Cub Scouts. The funds needed for this building were primarily donated by Arthur C. Storz. The Scouts also sold scrap iron and picked up ear corn in the farm fields to help pay for this building. The interior was knotty pine walls, and the floor was hardwood. This building served as the meeting place for the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the Campfire girls. This building was also the second location of the Lisco Library. This building deteriorated somewhat over time, and the American Legion had it torn down in 2012. This building was located on the northwest corner of the Legion property, northwest of this present Legion Hall.
Erected 2014 by The 2010 Garden County Centennial Planning Committee.
