Statue of Liberty Replica

Statue of Liberty Replica, Atlanta Capitol Building, Atlanta, Georgia

Public Art : Statue of Liberty Replica (aka Boy Scouts of America Monument)

Sculptor : Unknown

Date : February 1951

Description : A smaller bronze version of the Statue of Liberty minus the gilded torch!

Location : Grounds of the Georgia State Capitol building, Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America.

History of the Statue Of Liberty Replica : I must say there is very little information about the statues sprinkled around the Georgia State Capital grounds. What I can tell you about this statue was that it was donated to the state by the Atlanta Council of the Boy Scouts of America in 1951.

Inscriptions :

With the faith and courage of
their forefathers who made
possible the freedom of these
United States
THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
Dedicate this copy of the
Statue of Liberty as a pledge
of everlasting fidelity and
loyalty

The crusade to strengthen liberty
1951


 

"Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yeaning to breathe free
the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless , tempest-tost to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
