Three larger than life bronze figures, two men and one woman, dressed in the style of the early nineteenth century. One man wears a hat and the other holds his hat in his left hand. The woman wears a long dress and carries a large bag. The statues are place on free-form shape suspended just over the pool which is sunk below ground. Water cascades down the sides and lights are visible beneath the water. A wide rim surrounds the monument which is set in a circle with seating around the edge. Cars in the parking lot of the Gerald R. Form Presidential Museum and Library can be seen in the background.

Getting Around the Venue:
The parking lot off of Bridge Street is card access only (day time), and does not have designated accessible or van-accessible parking spaces, and has many areas that need maintenance. The curb ramp located at the east end of the parking lot has a short pole that makes moving along the ramp difficult.
The Pearl Street parking lot has designated parking spaces and is in good repair. The designated parking spaces closest to the venue do not have signs to indicate their location.
There routes are wide and level.
There is a steep hill present that separates the upper Museum walking path and lower Riverfront walking paths. These paths connect near the north parking lot. Due to this configuration, the only way to transfer between the upper level and the lower level paths is at this transition. If entering the park from the south parking lot, the full length of the 775-foot long upper Museum path will need to be traversed in order to get to the Riverfront level. The same is true when traveling from the Riverfront path to the South parking lot.
There are Men’s and Women’s multi-user style Restrooms available. The designated accessible stalls are narrow and do not have stall doors.
There is a water feature along the Museum walking path. The waterfall level of the water feature is only accessible by stairs. There are no handrails.
The stage on the hill area of the park has a ramp and a set of stairs. The ramp has a slightly steep slope, and has no handrails.
There is riverfront overlook present. This large viewing platform does not have handrails and there is a significant drop-off into the river at the ends of the platform.
There is a covered Pavilion present by the Pearl Street Parking lot. At one end of the structure, there is a short set of steps present that lead down to a sidewalk.
There is bench and table seating present available in the pavilion and there is bench seating available along the walking paths and the Riverfront overlook. The bench seating on the Riverfront overlook does not have seat backs. -
