Golden Gate Park 1899

Garfield Monument, located off Main Drive (now JFK) near Conservatory of Flowers. Created by California sculptor Frank Happersberger, it was unveiled on July 4, 1885, with a bronze statue of Garfield on a base and pedestal made of granite from Penryn, a town in Placer County in the Sierra Foothills. A statue of Lady Liberty sits on the pedestal, holding a broken sword and wreath, referencing the assassination.
