One of 20 registered* statues in the US of General Kosciuszko. The sculpture was erected to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the enlistment of Kosciuszko into the Continental Army. Funds for the sculpture were collected from Poles and Polish-Americans in New England. It was dedicated Sept./Oct. 1927. The statue in appropriate heroic style was designed by Theo Ruggles Kitson (1876-1932), the famous sculptress from Massachusetts who also designed the world renowned statue of the Minuteman at the Lexington Battle Green. It was cast by the Gorham Foundry of Cranston, RI. Today, it proudly stands among our heroes in the elegant section of The Public Garden across from the Four Seasons Hotel.
