Little Miss Liberty-Chimborazo Park-Richmond VA 03634
To help promote the Boy Scouts of America's 40th anniversary theme of “Strengthen the Arm of Liberty,” 200 small versions of the Statue of Liberty were placed in communities across the country in the early 1950’s.
Richmond, Virginia, received one of the statues from the Robert E. Lee Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The statue was unveiled and dedicated in Chimborazo Park on February 11, 1951 with hundreds of spectators in attendance.
The plaque on the statue, which still stands in the park today reads:
"With the faith and courage of their forefathers who made possible the freedom of these United States, the Boy Scouts of America dedicated this copy of the Statue of Liberty as a pledge of everlasting fidelity and loyalty. 40th anniversary crusade to strengthen the arm of liberty, 1950."
