Omaha's Little Sister of Liberty was among at least 15 placed in Nebraska to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America. Omaha's statue stood in Turner Park for several decades, during which it received some rough treatment. For the past 30 years, it's been tucked away in storage in sculptor John Lajba's downtown Omaha studio.
