The stately elms all died: Dutch Elm Disease. The town saved the stumps and various people and groups sponsored sculptors. This is Robert Lorne Stanfield, premier of Nova Scotia and leader of the federal Progressive Conservative Party. His family commissioned it and it stands just up the road from, you guessed it, Stanfields.

You know, one of Robert Stanfield's biggest liabilities in Canadian politics was that he was so wooden. Ergo, fitting tribute.
