George Rogers Clark Monument
George Rogers Clark Monument, Bronze monument in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
The George Rogers Clark Monument featured seven bronze figures, including a central equestrian statue measuring 24 feet in height and 20 feet in length.
The National Sculpture Society member Robert Ingersoll Aitken created this bronze monument in 1921 through funding from philanthropist Paul Goodloe McIntire.
The monument depicted George Rogers Clark on horseback with three frontiersmen and three Native Americans, representing territorial expansion during the Revolutionary War period.
The University of Virginia removed the monument in July 2021 and placed it in storage while consulting with Native American communities about its future location.
The sculpture earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 under reference number 97000448.
