The statue was dedicated in 1950, as one of approximately 200 replicas installed throughout the United States to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of Boy Scouts of America.[2] It was surveyed as part of the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1994.[1]
The replica of the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World) is an allegorical representation of Liberty. The female figure is shown wearing a crown and robes, and holding a torch and a book or tablet.[1] The metal sculpture measures approximately 7 ft. 4 in. x 1 ft. 10 in. x 1 ft. 10 in., and rests on a pedestal and octagonal concrete base that measures approximately 5 ft. 4 in. x 3 ft. 2 in. x 2 ft. 8 in.
