In the pulse of Paragould, Arkansas, we come across a mini Statue of Liberty, standing tall at a sturdy 95 inches. Painted a zestful egg-yellow, she stands like a pint-sized patriot in Courthouse Park, neighboring the Greene County Courthouse. Her charm is a miniature replica of the New York icon, crafted way back in 1920 by John Paulding, at the American Art Bronze Foundry in Chicago, Illinois. This little lady is a heartfelt homage to the local soldiers who fought in World War I, making her a unique piece on the Arkansas historic scene, unlike the common doughboy statues from that era.
