This plaza opened in 2014 to honor two great men in Fort Worth’s History. The first was our city’s founder, Major Ripley Allen Arnold. The bronze statue at the center of the plaza is of Major Ripley Arnold and was created by the internationally renowned sculpture Archie St. Claire. The second man it honors is John V. McMillan who was a business man and philanthropist who contributed to hundreds of non-profit organizations with his time and resources.
