Find the Bronze Statues of all Former Presidents

Downtown Rapid City is home to a free walking tour known as the City of Presidents. Statues were placed on the Historic District street corners starting in the year 2000. New statues are added after the completion of a president's office term. Each bronze statue depicts a recognizable pose or symbolizes an achievement from the president's years of service. Some presidents are standing and others are seated; some are alone and others have pets, children or someone else with them.

How many of the former US presidents can you recognize?

Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to complete the entire City of Presidents self-guided walking tour in Rapid City. We were able to find over half of the bronze statues depicting our country's past presidents. Just as with all people, I find that some presidents have very distinctive features and others do not!

Fun fact: All but one of the statues are life-size replicas. The statue of William Henry Harrison is a "lighter version" as it was determined that creating a full-size bronze replica would be too expensive!

How many of these 10 presidents can you name by looking at their statues?
