Reviews
"This was really pretty and interesting to see the history."
"It's a statue. I mean if you've seen a statue before then you've basically seen what this statue looks like. Not sure why google wants me to rank how satisfied I was with this. It's pretty normal as far as statues go. Three stars."
"As part of our road trip visiting from Australia, Lisa & I spent most of the day walking and looking at the history of this well know City. Magnificent, well worth the visit! :)"
