We will be writing a State Register nomination for the Benjamin Franklin statue located in front of the Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury for our Creative Places Trail. The statue was created by Connecticut sculptor, Paul Wayland Bartlett and completed in 1921. It was cast in Baltimore and went on a 22-city tour before ending in Waterburys library park. The sculpture was commissioned post-WWI to promote patriotism. For our State Register nomination we took context photographs of the surrounding area. Currently the area is known as Library Park but was previously used as Waterburys Grand Street Cemetery the citys primary burial ground between 1674-1891.
