The replica was one of 53 produced in France and given to the United States government in 1950. It was presented to the state that year in commemoration of a U.S. Savings Bond drive – “Save for your independence,” the campaign’s slogan instructed. When it was first brought to West Virginia, it toured the state until finally resting upon the grounds of the Capitol Complex. It once set on the steps on the north side of the Capitol but has since been moved to its present location in the courtyard in front of the north steps.
