Boy and the Boot Statue
9W Main St.
Wallingford, VT 05773
The Boy and the Boot statue happens to be a symbolic pride of the town of Wallingford. The statue is enshrouded in mystery because it was meant to be a statue in memory of someone’s father, a certain Arnold Young. However, other similar statues in neighboring towns have been seen and even in memory of someone who wasn’t even dead yet. The statue of the boy carrying a boot with water arcing out of its boot tip hole can be seen in daylight hours but it is in storage in the months of December to March.
