Statue of Liberty

In 1950 the Tall Corn (now the Mid-Iowa) council of the Boy Scouts of America donated this miniature Statue of Liberty as part of their annual service project. The statue was provided by Jack Whitaker of Kansas City active in the Boy Scouts at the time.

The statue is located at the Iowa State Capitol Complex in Des Moines and is part of the Monuments and Memorials Tour.
