Statue of Liberty Replica Monument, Bronze monument at Texas State Capitol grounds, Austin, United States

The Statue of Liberty Replica Monument is a bronze sculpture standing near the Texas State Capitol building. This miniature version displays the same recognizable features as the original, including the raised torch and crown.

The Boy Scouts of America chose "Strengthen the Arm of Liberty" as the theme of its fortieth anniversary in 1950, and about 200 Statue of Liberty replicas were installed nationwide. Austin's bronze cast, made by the Friedley-Voshardt Company, was erected in 1951 on a Texas limestone base southwest of the Capitol. A time capsule placed with it was reburied at a scout camp near Bastrop in 2008, to be opened in 2076.

The replica is one of about 200 cast for the Boy Scouts of America's 1950 "Strengthen the Arm of Liberty" campaign, marking the organization's fortieth anniversary. It was erected in 1951, and the original time capsule placed with it was moved in 2008 to a scout camp near Bastrop.

The replica stands on a Texas limestone base on the Capitol grounds, southwest of the Capitol building where it was first installed. It is an outdoor monument viewable from the surrounding walkways, so it can be seen at any time without entering a building. Look for the raised torch and crown that mark it as a Statue of Liberty copy.

A time capsule with historical documents was buried at a scout camp near Bastrop and is scheduled to be opened in 2076. This hidden treasure connects the monument to a future generation who will discover the project more than a century later.
