8.5 foot tall replica of the Statue of Liberty mounted on a concrete base, located in a small parkette on Memorial Parkway on Utica's south side.
The statue was erected in 1950 by the local Boy Scouts of America as part of a national fund-raising effort to repair the arm on the original Statue of Liberty.
This is one of approximately 150 replicas that were purchased by the Scouts throughout the USA between 1949 and 1951.
The affixed marker reads:
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
