The Bobblehead, LLC Creates Figurine of Bear Fountain in Geneseo, NY
Posted by Matt in Regular Posts on April 27th, 2009
Just created a 5″ figurine of the famous Bear Fountain for the Association for the Preservation of Geneseo, NY (APOG). The statue is located just off campus of State University of New York (SUNY) at Geneseo.
According to Wikipedia, “School legend has it that if a virgin ever graduates from Geneseo, the bear will come down off of the fountain and run away, never to be seen again. “The Bear” also plays host to any number of spontaneous decorations and pranks throughout the academic year. A story also circulates that one of the wealthy Wadsworth daughters saw the bear fountain in a small town in Germany, fell in love with it, bought it, and sent it back to Geneseo in the early 19th century. This story is unverified, but an excerpt from a history of the family that settled the valley implies that this is not true, and that the fountain was designed and built for its current location: “[Main Street] is still dominated by a drinking fountain for horses dedicated to Mrs. Emmeline Austin Wadsworth. For some obscure reason its designer placed a short pole in its center on top of which sits a cunning little iron bear, who is generally known as ‘Aunt Emmeline’.”
The Bear Fountain stands 5″ tall and is hand carved and painted. Very few will be available for purchase through the APOG. To get your piece of Geneseo, NY history, contact the APOG at http://www.geneseoapog.com.
