Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument
Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, Civil War memorial in Campus Martius Park, Detroit, United States.
The 56-foot granite monument features bronze statues, medallions, and a central figure representing Michigan at its pinnacle in Downtown Detroit.
Michigan Governor Austin Blair established the Monument Association in 1865 to honor state soldiers and sailors who died during the Civil War.
The monument displays four allegorical bronze figures symbolizing Victory, Union, Emancipation, and History, along with medallions of Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, and Farragut.
The memorial stands at the intersection of Woodward Avenue, Michigan Avenue, Monroe Street, Fort Street, and Cadillac Square in Campus Martius Park.
Four 900-pound military figures represent different service branches, while the 3,800-pound Michigan figure wears a winged helmet atop the structure.
