Statue of Hebe, Van Buren, AR - a photo on Flickriver

            From the info plaque.

"Hebe, Greek goddess of youth and happiness was placed on her fountain on the Crawford County courthouse lawn in 1908 by the Women's Village Impovement Society.

Repairs were made to both Hebe and the fountain in memory of Robert Benham who served as county assessor from 1961.1972.

The original Hebe was constructed of pot metal then painted gold.  Numerous repairs to Hebe and the fountain were made over the first century she reigned on the courthouse lawn.

Hebe was beyond repair and the fountain crumbling and inoperable.

Women's League of Van Buren, an affiliate of the Generel Federation of Women's Clubs, spearheaded a campaign to raise funds to restore Hebe and the fountain.

Bronze casting of Hebe is complements of Women's League.  Donations from our great community raised funds to rebuild the fountain and establish new landscaping.

The original pot metal Hebe will eventually reside in the Crawford County Museum.  The steel cap surrounding top of fountain was repaired and in use today."
