HURRICANE, Utah () — The new Liberty Village in Hurricane is still under construction, and visitors to the site will now be greeted by a statue commemorating the start of the American Revolution.
The 'Stand Your Grand' statue was unveiled at the entrance to Liberty Village in a private ceremony on Thursday, commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The statue was created by Utah sculptor Angela Johnson, and shows George Washington on horseback.
The statue is part of the 32-acre site, which broke ground in 2022 and is still under development, per its website. The colonial-themed park will feature 20 historical replica buildings and have six major areas for visitors to explore. Phase 1 of Liberty Village is set to open on September 17.
