Unlike most sundials, this Pillar Sundial does not measure the time of day but serves as a calendar to commemorate meaningful dates in one's life. It also celebrates the life and contributions of Lester J. Fiegel, Sr. (1931-2011), an Olmsted County leader who served his community as a rural schoolteacher, president of the PTA, county auditor, and president of the county bank. Here is a link to an article about the Pillar Sundial on the website of a local Rochester news channel, KTTC: kttc.com/2024/07/25/cascade-lake-sundial-captures-meaning-time-serves-memorial.
