The Burnside Fountain is a non-functioning drinking fountain at the southeast corner of Worcester Common in Worcester Massachusetts. It consists of two parts a pink granite basin and a bronze statue of a young boy riding a sea turtle. The basin was designed by architect Henry Bacon who later designed the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. and the figure was created by sculptor Charles Y. Harvey. Harvey committed suicide before finishing the sculpture and Sherry Fry completed the bronze.
