The Honorees and Sculptors of The Hall of Fame for Great Americans:

A century hence many of their names will be as obsolete or as little understood in their significance as now are those of scores of eighteenth century men who were famous in their day. . . .
(signed "Penn," "Men and Things," Bulletin-Philadelphia, October 15, 1900)

The following is a list of the ninety-eight people elected to The Hall of Fame for Great Americans that have busts installed in the colonnade and the fifty-five sculptors of the busts. Nine of the busts are replicas and the rest are original to the monument. There are fourteen works, including male and female subjects, by eleven women sculptors. Four of the honorees (elected in the 1970s) are not yet represented by busts.
