Corn Dance Plaque

The origin of the plaque has not been confirmed but resembles, in subject and medium, the works of John Joseph Boyle. Similarities to the works of Hermon Atkins MacNeil and John Farle have also been made. The plaque depicts the “Corn Dance.” It measures four feet by two feet and weighs 185 pounds.

In 2015, the Genealogy Collection moved from the Orlando Public Library to the West Oaks Library, and the Corn Dance Place is now at the West Oaks Library.
