Statue of John F. Kennedy, Bronze statue at Massachusetts State House, Boston, United States.
The eight-foot bronze statue depicts President Kennedy in midstride wearing a business suit outside the Massachusetts State House at 24 Beacon Street.
The statue was unveiled on May 29, 1990, during a ceremony that drew 2,500 people, including Kennedy family members and former First Lady Jackie Kennedy.
The statue represents the connection between President Kennedy and Boston, where he grew up and frequently referenced during his political career.
Visitors can view the bronze memorial through a fence on the north side of Beacon Street, just east of Joy Street near the Freedom Trail.
The 600-pound sculpture by Isabel McIlvain captures Kennedy in motion, suggesting forward movement toward the street below the State House steps.
