Daniel Webster Monument — Attraction in New York

There is a monument to early 19th century politician Daniel Webster located along the 72nd Street Transverse Road in Central Park, just southwest of Wagner Cove at The Lake.

This monument is the works of American sculptor Thomas Ball and was erected in 1876. It is of an middle-aged Daniel Webster, a highly regarded statesman and oratory. He is standing in stately attire with his right hand tucked inside his vest upon his heart, as if amidst an important speech to audience before him.

The statue stands upon a granite pedestal with modest ornamentation. Near the base of the monument are the words 'Liberty and Union, Now and Forever, One and Inseparable' given by Webster during a famous speech to the U.S. Senate in 1830.

This is one of many interesting monuments and statues that can be viewed within Central Park and is very much worth having a quick look if you plan to spend time around The Lake or Strawberry Fields in...
