A statue of poet Robert Burns by Henry Hudson Kitson is installed along The Fens in Boston‘s Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. In 1910 The Burns Memorial Association of Boston held a competition to make a statue of Burns, to correspond with that nomenclature as an honor. The winner was artist Henry Hudson Kitson. Kitson completed the statue in 1919, and Governor Calvin Coolidge dedicated it the next year on New Years Day, 1920. The piece was moved from the Fenway to Winthrop Square at Otis and Devonshire Streets, in the Financial District, in the summer of 1975. It was restored and returned to its original location on October 30, 2019. It was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution‘s “Save Outdoor Sculpture!” program in 1993
