Kosciuszko Monument in the Boston Public Gardens Erected in 1927, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the enlistment of Kosciuszko into the Continental Army, the statue is the work of Theo Ruggles Kitson (1876 -1932), one of the most prolific female bronze sculptors in America who also designed the world renowned statue of the Minuteman at the Lexington Battle Green.. The sculpture portrays the Polish hero of the American Revolution holding the plans for the future West Point. It is located very near the middle Boylston Street entrance of the Public Gardens. Funds for the sculpture were collected from Poles and Polish-Americans in New England.
