 Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, police closed the gates to the State House lawn, cutting off public access to several of the statues, including Mann, Anne Hutchinson, John F. Kennedy, Henry Cabot Lodge and Daniel Webster.These statures are still visible at a distance from the Beacon Street sidewalk, through a fence.Only the equestrian statue of Joseph Hooker and the statue of Mary Dyer remained open to close public inspection, as they are located in the pedestrian plaza of the building's main public entrance.
