Daniel Webster
The most famous lawyer, orator and statesman of his day, New Hampshire native Daniel Webster (1782-1852) represented this state and later Massachusetts in Congress and served as Secretary of State under three presidents. This bronze casting of DW was designed by Thomas Ball and was cast in Munich, Germany.
John P. Hale
Politician and lawyer John Hale (1806-1873) was a U.S. representative and senator from New Hampshire who took an early and forceful stand against slavery. This statue was cast in the same foundry as Daniel Webster in Munich, Germany to ensure matching finishes and proportions.
George Hamilton Perkins

The tablet below the statue depicts Perkins’ military life. The statue was sculpted by Daniel Chester French and designed by Henry Bacon.

The most famous Revolutionary War soldier and hero of the battles of Bunker Hill and Bennington, Stark coined the phrase "Live Free or Die" in 1809; NH adopted it as its motto in 1945. This sculpture was created by Carl Conrads and designed by John A. Fox.
