From Worcester, Massachusetts: The Life of George Frisbie Hoar

Hoar, a native of Worcester, dedicated his life to the quest for knowledge. He began his academic journey at Concord Academy, before graduating from Harvard College four years later. Fueled by insatiable curiosity, he enrolled at Harvard Law School, graduating in 1849. With law school behind him, Hoar returned to Worcester to practice law. However, he didn't stop there. In 1852, he ran for office and won a seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

And let's not forget, he was of the Republican persuasion. He served in the House and the Senate until 1877, when he was elected to the United States Senate. His Red, White, and Blue journey continued until 1904. A sculpture, depicting Hoar in a seated position with a coat and manuscript, graces the north side of the Worcester City Hall, a creation of Daniel Chester French. The unveiling ceremony took place in 1908. Bronze tablets, engraved with tributes to Hoar's personal virtues and public service, adorn the pedestal. The work of the Norcross Brothers and Peabody and Stearns was a monument to Hoar's legacy.
