Major John Andre Monument
Major John Andre Monument, Historical monument in Tappan, US
The gray granite monument measures 40 inches square and 58 inches tall, standing within a circular plot of 31 feet in diameter.
Millionaire Cyrus W. Field erected the monument in 1879 to mark the location where British Major John Andre was executed in 1780.
The monument reflects the complex relationship between American and British perspectives during the Revolutionary War through its inscriptions and subsequent modifications.
Located near the New Jersey border in Rockland County, the monument includes a bronze tablet that provides information about George Washington and his generals.
The monument endured three significant attacks between 1882 and 1885, including explosions and vandalism, due to public opposition to honoring a British spy.
