George Bush Monument
4.3 (108)attraction
4.3 (108)An eight-foot bronze and sculpted reliefs in Buffalo Bayou Park trace the 41st president's life and ties to Houston.
Description
Unveiled in 2004 along Bagby and Franklin streets, the site pairs Chas Fagan's bronze statue with a semicircular wall of four bas-reliefs by Houston artist Wei-li “Willy” Wang. The sculpted panels document Bush across key chapters: serving as a World War II Navy pilot, working as a Houston oilman and congressman, managing the peaceful end of the Cold War with Mikhail Gorbachev, and attending his son's presidential inauguration with his wife Barbara.
