Statue of W. D. Hoard

Henry Mall

Created in 1922

This statue at the north end of Henry Mall recognizes William D. Hoard, a strong proponent of dairying in the state of Wisconsin. In 1885, Hoard founded the magazine Hoard’s Dairyman, still published and read internationally to this day. He served as chair of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, and later as the 16th governor of Wisconsin.
