Robert Taliaferro Jr. of El Dorado donated this heartfelt sculpture in memory of his late wife, Florence. Artist Don Haugen envisioned "a young Rembrandt, smiling and brimming with enthusiasm for art class," a joyful expression that captivated Mr. Taliaferro and inspired his choice.

Statue of Liberty Replica
The Texaco Refinery acquired this replica of the Statue of Liberty to temporarily stand in front of the Butler County Courthouse while the original statue underwent repairs. After the original was restored and returned, the replica found its permanent home in the Commemorative Garden of the Missouri Pacific Depot.

Endangered Species:
The American Farmer
The Noble Waite family, with seven generations rooted in the El Dorado area, dedicated this sculpture to honor their pioneer heritage and all those who settled Butler County in the 1800s. Created by artist Jim Brothers, a Eureka native who later lived in Lawrence, this piece holds the distinction of being the first sculpture placed on the downtown base.

His Brand
Artist Dr. Gene "Yogi" Williams drew inspiration from real life for this sculpture, modeling the blacksmith after himself and the cowboy after former El Dorado Mayor Max Main. This piece was generously donated through the combined efforts of Virginia Zebold, Clifford Stone, and Coutts Museum of Art.

Little Fisherman
Charles and Joyce Deforest saw sculptor Reed Jensen's "Little Fisherman" while on vacation in New Mexico. They thought it would be perfect for El Dorado, where so many enjoy fishing at El Dorado Lake.
