The Founders Memorial, 1930
Boston Common / Beacon and Spruce Streets John F. Paramino, Sculptor
Bronze Bas-relief / Stone
Boston Founded AD 1630 Tablet
Commissioned by the City of Boston to mark its 300th anniversary. Taken from the Stone
This base relief plaque depicts the primary meeting between Boston’s first settler, the reclusive William Blackston (Blaxton) and John Winthrop. Winthrop and his companions found Charlestown unsatisfactory and crossed to “Shawmut”, the peninsula we now know as Boston. Among the figures in the group are the clergyman John Wilson, and Ann Pollard, the first white woman known to step onto Boston’s soil.
Happy Birthday on September 7, Sarah Hutt, former Director of the Boston Art Commission, City of Boston
