Statue of Edward Everett

The bronze monument measures 7 feet tall and stands on a granite base of 5.5 feet, depicting the Massachusetts politician in formal attire.

William Wetmore Story created this statue in 1867 for the Boston Public Garden before its relocation to Edward Everett Square in 1911 and Richardson Park in 1935.

The statue represents Edward Everett, who served as Massachusetts Governor and remained influential in American education and diplomatic relations during the 19th century.

Visitors can find this statue in Richardson Park, where it stands as part of Boston's collection of outdoor sculptures documented by the Smithsonian Institution.

The statue underwent multiple relocations across Boston, spending four years in storage between 1931 and 1935 before reaching its current location.
