The Dr. Joseph Warren Foundation is committed to the preservation & education of the Warren legacy. To that end, we support & encourage monuments & plaques dedicated in his memory. Although Warren was killed in action a year before the Declaration of Independence, he served his fellow colonists in a variety of roles--from physician & son of liberty to patriot spymaster & major general.
Bunker Hill
Bunker Hill 1846 (Sculptor: Henry Dextor)
The first statue of Dr. Joseph Warren was dedicated in 1857 & placed in a temporary location until the Bunker Hill Lodge was built in 1901 to house the statue. The lodge stands adjacent to the Bunker Hill Monument.
Roxbury
Roxbury 1904 (Sculptor: Paul Wayland Bartlett)
This bronze statue was placed in the center of Warren Square in Roxbury (Boston), MA in 1904. Decades later, the statue was removed & stored to accommodate road construction. The intention was to eventually return the statue to its original location, but the Warren bronze was misplaced & forgotten about. In 1969, a physician asked that the statue be moved to the Roxbury Latin School, (Dr. Warren's Alma Mater) where it has remained on campus prominently displayed.
