George Armstrong Custer Equestrian Monument
George Armstrong Custer Equestrian Monument, Bronze equestrian monument in Monroe, United States.
The 14-foot-tall bronze statue portrays General George Armstrong Custer wearing his Civil War uniform while mounted on a horse with all feet touching the ground.
Unveiled in June 1910 by President William Howard Taft and Elizabeth Bacon Custer, the monument honors the General's achievements during the American Civil War.
The Michigan Custer Memorial Association commissioned sculptor Edward Clark Potter and architects Hunt & Hunt to create this tribute to the state's military heritage.
Located at the intersection of Elm Avenue and North Monroe Street along the River Raisin, the statue stands as a prominent landmark in downtown Monroe.
The monument underwent two relocations, first in 1923 to Soldiers and Sailors Park, then in 1955 to its current position due to public visibility concerns.
