  • Notes 
    • The Burnside Fountain, affectionately called Turtle Boy, is a bronze statue of a boy riding a hawksbill sea turtle by sculptor Charles Y. Harvey that stands on a pedestal by architect Henry Bacon (who later designed the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC) in Worcester Common in Worcester, Massachusetts. The fountain was manufactured with funds provided by Harriet Pamela Foster Burnside. Turtle Boy has become a kind of mascot for the city of Worcester, in the way the The Little Mermaid (statue) is in Copenhagen or the Manneken Pis is in Brussels
