Sioux Falls, South Dakota - Replica Statues of David and Moses In 1971, inventor Thomas Fawick donated replica
statues of Michaelangelo's statues of Moses and David to the city
of Sioux Falls. Moses can be found at Augustana college...
David on the other hand, was in the news for awhile. He long stood in Fawick park (named for the inventor), until he had to be removed so the land could be cleaned up from an old gasification plant that once stood there. For several years, the city had him lying on a flatbed in storage in a city garage somewhere. There were many meetings and votes as to where to put him. After the cleanup, Fawick park was totally renovated, and is now beautiful... and it was only logical to put David back there, where he now stands out in the open. [Jamie Wissink, 02/24/2001]
