Description
Statue Of Liberty located in Richmond Va -The Statue of Liberty in Chimborazo Park is one 200 replicas in 39 states erected in the 1950s by the Boy Scouts:
The project was the brainchild of Kansas City businessman, J.P. Whitaker, who was then Scout Commissioner of the Kansas City Area Council. The copper statues were manufactured by Friedley-Voshardt Co. (Chicago, IL) and purchased through the Kansas City Boy Scout office by those wanting one. All were erected in the early 1950�s by Boy Scout troops and others to celebrate Scouting�s 40th anniversary theme, �Strengthen the Arm of Liberty.�
The statues are approximately 8 1/2 feet tall without the base, constructed of sheet copper, weigh 290 pounds, and originally cost $350 plus freight.
