Russell Alger Memorial Fountain
"Pride of Grand Circus Park"
Located inside the Grand Circus Park, Russell Alger Memorial Fountain is a stunning piece of art. This complete bronze structure is a result of exchange of ideas between architect Henry Bacon and sculptor Daniel Chester French. The memorial depicts a woman, standing tall with a shield and a sword in one hand and the other arm stretched out, her stance celebrates the spirit of Michigan. Alger's bas relief can be found at the base of the structure while the other side of the pedestal has a lion's head with a spout that fills the pool. The monument commemorates the life and work of Russell Alger, a veteran and a successful politician.
