Located outside of Old City Hall in Boston, Massachusetts, stands the majestic and prominent statue of Benjamin Franklin. The 8-foot tall bronze statue of Franklin is a testament to his influential personality and accomplishments that he achieved throughout his life as an American founding father and diplomat. The sculpture has been standing proudly since the year 1856 when it was first dedicated in Boston’s Court House. The grand base of this distinguished work displays four impressive plaques by artist Richard Saltonstall Greenough and Thomas Ball illustrating Franklin’s countless achievements. Meanwhile, visitors may admire Franklin’s refined ambiance while appreciating the significance of his impact and legacy that remains to this day.
