Letter Carriers' Monument, Bronze sculpture in downtown Milwaukee, United States.

The Letter Carriers' Monument features three postal workers in different uniforms standing on a black granite base at North 2nd Street and Plankinton Avenue.

The 1989 monument commemorates the centennial of the National Association of Letter Carriers, founded when Milwaukee postal workers organized for better conditions.

Three figures in the sculpture represent different periods of postal service: an early 1900s worker, a 1939 African American carrier, and a modern female carrier.

The monument stands in Postman's Porch, a pocket park with seating areas where visitors can observe the detailed bronze craftsmanship during daytime hours.

Elliot Offner created the initial model for this 66-inch-tall monument while working as a visiting artist in Cambridge, England.
