History1608 2nd Ave, Wausau, FL 32463, USA
Directions

As a bonus spot for the Revolution Road driving tour, you can view the trail map as well as panels on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. The panels are placed next to the Possum Monument in front of the fire station on Highway 77.

One of the most unique monuments in the United States, this quaint memorial honors the Opossum. A marsupial and distant relative of the kangaroo, the possum, as it is known in the South, is memorialized here for its role as food for area families during the dark days of the Great Depression. The monument inscription notes that the first Saturday of each August has been declared Possum Day in Florida by resolution of the state legislature. It was placed by the Wausau Community Development Club on August 7, 1982.
