Charles Gagnon Peace Fountain Story
The museum occupies the Gagnon residence, which was built in the late 1980s. “It took two years to design and two and a half years to build,” Arlyn Gagnon said. But from the day the Gagnons moved in, this was the place where Chuck Gagnon both lived and created.
His most famous local pieces include the Peace Plaza fountain in downtown Rochester, and the statue of St. Francis at Mayo Clinic’s Saint Marys Hospital. Gagnon’s bronze sculptures, however, are to be found around the world. In fact, another, slightly taller, peace fountain sculpture stands in Germany.
