Located in front of the Ranch Mirage Public Library is a lifelike bust of former president of the United States, Gerald R. Ford. The bronze sculpture is mounted on a marble base and contains an inscription that reads:
GERALD R. FORD38th President Of The United States of America
August 9, 1974 - January 20, 19777
Dedicated April 19, 2001

Although an accurate representation of Gerald Ford from his presidential days, this sculptor seems stiff and inanimate. This is most likely because of the way the bust and above is the only part of Ford captured. I would have rather seen less of his torso.
