 In 1985, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of his death, a life-size monument of him was installed on the brow of the hill a hundred yards up the street from the museum.Finding a home for the monument had been a significant problem until several members of the museum board (who served on the Jumbo Monument Committee) convinced other members of the board to permit the statue to be placed in the parking lot the museum had built on Talbot Street.This was the beginning of the menagerie which also includes kangaroo and dolphins.
