Eugene, Oregon: The Pioneer Mother (Gone)

RoadsideAmerica.com Team Field Report

Directions:
On the campus of the University of Oregon. East side of the city. From E. 18th Ave. turn north onto University Ave. When you reach the stop sign, park (good luck) then walk to the left, just north of the big red brick building with the circular driveway in front of it. You'll come to a quad on the right; the statue is seated on a pedestal there, facing away from you.
Admission:
Free
Status:
Gone
The Pioneer Mother

Mom sits in a chair, a book in her lap, as if she's just reading about the pioneers rather than actually being a pioneer. June 2020: bronze statue toppled by protestors, removed from campus.
