- The Eppes Statue is a monument of Francis W. Eppes that is located in Tallahassee, Florida. The bronze sculpture sits in front of the Westcott Building on Florida State University's campus. It was commissioned by FSU president Sandy D'Alemberte to honor one of Florida State University's founders. This monument was created by sculptor Edward Jonas and was unveiled to the public eye on January 24, 2002. The statue is the starting point for Florida State University's Legacy Walk, a campus improvement project that begun in 1989. The Legacy Walk is a completed project that goes through the entire campus, reflecting on the school's history and major successes of its first 150 years. The Legacy Walk includes multiple bronze statues around campus, reflecting the history and pride of the school's students and alumni. The Eppes statue's symbolism dates back to the original formation of the school as a Seminary, remembering Eppes' role as one of the prominent founders of the school to support a higher education in Tallahassee. It currently sits to the right of Westcott Fountain when walking towards the University from College Avenue. Its location at the official entrance of the school makes it one of the most significant Jones statue on campus. (en)
