Dawn of Day
City of Sculpture
Waupun,WI
Like this Indian maiden who is casting off the old garments...who will ever look forward to the dawn of a day of greater prosperity and happiness," Shaler said in his dedication speech.
BACKGROUND: This statue, dedicated in 1931, is also known as "Waubun", a Native American word which means "dawn of day." The City of Waupun was originally called Waubun. The 'b' became a 'p' when the city's name was commissioned around 1840 and a spelling error was made. Dawn of Day was Shaler's first heroic bronze statue, sculpted using several different models to achieve the maiden's perfection.
LOCATION: About 50 miles from the 2007 BMWMOA National Rally
