Hayes Statue Unveiling

The plaza on the southwest corner of William St. and Sandusky St. in Delaware Ohio.

The new window display features:

  • The Sculpture model from which Alan Cottrell, noted Ohio sculptor, is creating the full Hayes statue
  • Archival photos of Rutherford and Lucy Hayes from the Delaware County Historical Society collection

Benny Shoults and Maggie Webb have created a wonderful presentation that brings Delaware history to life through historic artifacts, information, and photographs.

The artifacts in the display are from the Delaware County Historical Society’s extensive collection. Visit the Cryder Historical Center and Research Library at 157 E Williams Street to see more.

About the project

HayesComesHome.org , a local organization seeks to bring appropriate recognition to our city and demonstrate pride, through a statue memorial of R.B. Hayes. The statue will permanently pay tribute to our native son. It will welcome visitors to the community and serve as a focal point for the plaza. The project held a Kick-Off at the plaza site on October 5, 2018 featuring committee members Bill Rietz and Brent Carson.

Visit HayesComesHome.org to learn more about the project or add your support.
