The Governor William Goebel Statue, crafted by Charles Henry Niehaus in 1914, stands prominently at 300 West Broadway Street, in front of the Old State Capitol in Frankfort, Kentucky. This bronze statue serves as a poignant reminder of the deeply divided politics of Kentucky at the close of the 19th century, marking the controversial legacy of Goebel, the Democratic candidate who was shot as he approached the Capitol following a fiercely contested election.
