Christa McAuliffe Statue Unveiling Announced

Published on

The Christa McAuliffe State House Memorial Commission is pleased to announce that the unveiling of the Christa McAuliffe statue will be held on Monday, September 2, 2024, at 10 AM. Members of the public are encouraged to attend.

“To see a hero like Christa McAuliffe memorialized in this way will undoubtedly inspire the next generation of students each time they visit the New Hampshire State House,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “The unveiling of this statue – the first woman to be memorialized on State House grounds – will be a historic moment for the State of New Hampshire. We hope the whole community will come out for this event!”

Governor Chris Sununu signed Executive Order 2023-02 establishing the Christa McAuliffe State House Memorial Commission on February 14, 2023.

Renowned artist, Benjamin Victor, was selected by the committee to design the memorial. At the age of 26, Victor became the youngest artist to ever have a sculpture placed in the National Statuary Hall in the United States Capitol. In 2024, he achieved the remarkable distinction of becoming the only living artist to have four sculptures on display in Statuary Hall.
