Historic Statues around the New Hampshire State House
Franklin Pierce
Franklin Pierce is the only president to hail from New Hampshire. He served in the White House 1853-1857. This sculpture was created by Augustus Lukeman.
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
Commodore George Hamilton Perkins served with Captain David Farragut in the Civil War and was one of three men sent ashore to arrange for the surrender of New Orleans. The tablet below the statue depicts Perkins’ military life. The statue was sculpted by Daniel Chester French and designed by Henry Bacon.
John Winant
This statue by Brett Grill was dedicated to Governor John Winant outside the New Hampshire State Library on June 30, 2017. John Winant held positions in NH, national, and international politics. He was the first man to serve more than a single two-year term as NH Governor, winning election three times. He went on to serve as US Ambassador to Britain during World War II.
General John Stark
This bronze statue portrays General John Stark in the military dress of a Revolutionary War soldier. 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.
Christa McAuliffe
This bronze statue by Benjamin Victor was installed in September 2024 to honor Christa McAuliffe, a Concord native and America’s first teacher in space. McAuliffe tragically passed in the 1986 Challenger shuttle disaster.
