Strengthen the Arm of Liberty Monument, Liberty statue in Pine Bluff Memorial Gardens, Arkansas, United States
Strengthen the Arm of Liberty Monument is an 8-foot copper replica of the Statue of Liberty, mounted on a concrete base 3.5 feet tall in Pine Bluff Memorial Gardens. The statue faces north toward the Pine Bluff Civic Center, and a bronze commemorative plaque is fixed to the north face of the base.
The monument was built in the 1950s by the Boy Scouts of America as part of a national campaign to encourage patriotism and civic responsibility. It represents one of several such replicas that the organization created across the country during that era.
The raised arm holding a torch represents freedom and civic duty, values that visitors encounter as they pass through the gardens. The bronze plaque at its base reinforces this connection and grounds the monument in the everyday life of the community.
The monument sits within Pine Bluff Memorial Gardens near the Civic Center and welcomes visitors at any time without restriction. Its central location makes it easy to reach on foot from surrounding streets.
The statue earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places and remains one of only two Boy Scout Liberty replicas in Arkansas. This recognition highlights its importance as a historical work in the state.
