General Douglas MacArthur, Bronze war memorial at Milwaukee County Courthouse, United States
General Douglas MacArthur is depicted in military uniform with hands in back pockets, standing on a marble pedestal. The bronze figure stands roughly 9 feet tall and maintains an upright, composed posture that conveys his military bearing.
The memorial was dedicated in 1979 to commemorate a milestone in MacArthur's military career. This timing honored his connection to the region and its military heritage.
The statue reflects MacArthur's connection to Milwaukee through his school years and his recognition by Marquette University. This local tie gives the memorial special meaning in the city.
The memorial stands outdoors in Veterans Park and is easily accessible on foot. The location sits near other monuments and museums, making it convenient to visit alongside nearby attractions.
Artist Robert Dean created the bronze sculpture over several months in a French studio before it was cast in Italy. This international journey from conception to final placement adds depth to its origins.
