Steuben Monument, Bronze equestrian monument at Sherman Boulevard, United States

The Steuben Monument features General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben mounted on a trotting horse, wearing a Revolutionary War uniform and raising one hand in greeting.

The Milwaukee Steuben Society commissioned this monument, reflecting the German-American community's commitment to preserving connections with historical military figures from their heritage.

Bronze plaques on the pedestal display correspondence between Von Steuben and George Washington, documenting their professional relationship during the Revolutionary War.
