Brooklyn-made statue of Washington highlights West Va. children’s museum
Construction of the “for the kids, by George” children’s museum in Martinsburg, West Va., is progressing, and the arrival of exhibits continues.
Earlier this month, an eerily lifelike statue of George Washington at 19 years old — created by StudioEIS of Brooklyn, N.Y. — and an exact replica of a circa 1700s canoe were delivered to the museum in Martinsburg.
The image of Washington at 19 was selected because that is about how old he was when surveying this area, Lisa Dall’Olio said.
