Description: The Hebe Fountain in Eagles Park, Roseburg, Oregon, U.S. (circa 2002), features a replica of a sculpture of Hebe by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. A Hebe Fountain stood from 1908 to 1912 at the corner of Cass and Main in Roseburg; it was damaged by a runaway team of horses, never re-erected, and its whereabouts are unknown. The original 1908 fountain and sculpture was sponsored by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the 1895 Mental Health Club (now Roseburg Women's Club). This recent statue in Eagles Park is in part a tribute to that earlier statue.
