Margaret Corbin Monument, Military memorial sculpture at US Military Academy Cemetery, West Point, New York.

The Margaret Corbin Monument stands at the entrance of West Point Cemetery, featuring a stone marker that honors a Revolutionary War heroine.

Erected in 1926, this monument marks the initial burial site of Margaret Corbin, who operated a cannon during the Battle of Fort Washington in 1776.

The monument represents the recognition of women in military service, marking a shift in acknowledging female contributions to American military history.

Visitors can access the monument during regular cemetery hours through the West Point Military Academy entrance, following specific security protocols.

Scientific analysis in 2017 revealed that the remains beneath the monument belonged to an unidentified male rather than Margaret Corbin.
