Bostwicktonville Veteran’s Memorial Fountain
The Bostwicktonville Veteran’s Memorial Fountain was built in 1925 to commemorate Bostwicktonville’s heroic veterans both living and dead. To this day it stands as a beacon of strength and hope to the community.
Last renovated in 1978, the fountain was acquired by the Bostwicktonville historical society to preserve it as an enduring emblem of the city.
Unidentified Statue
In a secluded corner of the park, on the site of an old optical telegraph, this unidentified statue appears to depict a stylized version of the Greek god of opportunity, Caerus. With his single lock of hair, balance, and blade, Caerus is one of the hidden treasures of Bostwicktonville.
Theories abound as to the origin and purpose of this curious sculpture, and the mysterious timeless atmosphere of the alcove. Rumors that the statue’s wings move because of a restless spirit are heard by the staff daily. However, no evidence of paranormal activity has ever been collected.

Ash Wednesday Statues
A mysterious tribal gathering, otherwise known as the 3rd grade class of 1932 built the endearing statues on the eastern ridge. Under the cover of darkness, the students chipped away at the boulders, and in the morning, these foreboding sentinels stood in their place. The Bostwicktonville Historical Society has maintained these statues, and they have become a popular attraction.
