General Artemas Ward, Revolutionary War memorial at Ward Circle, Washington DC, United States.
The bronze statue of General Artemas Ward stands 10 feet tall on a granite pedestal at the intersection of Nebraska and Massachusetts Avenue.
Congress authorized this statue in 1928 to honor General Ward, who served as the first Commander-in-Chief of colonial forces during the American Revolution.
The memorial includes inscriptions detailing Ward's roles as a Harvard graduate, judge, legislator, Continental Congress delegate, and military commander in three wars.
The monument occupies the center of a thirty-thousand-square-foot traffic circle with limited pedestrian access due to continuous vehicle movement.
Leonard Crunelle sculpted Ward's face based on Charles Wilson Peale's life portrait displayed in Independence Hall, Philadelphia.
