Alexander Hamilton Memorial, Bronze monument in Lincoln Park, Chicago, United States.
The Alexander Hamilton Memorial is a gilded bronze statue in Lincoln Park showing the nation's first Secretary of the Treasury. The figure stands on a red granite pedestal and serves as a focal point for visitors exploring this section of the park.
The memorial was funded in 1937 through a major donation to honor the nation's first Treasury Secretary. Its installation was delayed, but once completed it has remained a fixture in the park for generations.
English sculptor John Angel created this representation of Alexander Hamilton, which underwent a complete restoration and regilding process in 2016.
The monument is located in the northern section of Lincoln Park and can be easily reached on foot. Being an outdoor sculpture, it is accessible at all times and costs nothing to visit.
The sculpture spent an extended period in storage before being placed in its current location. This delayed history makes the monument less widely known than many other park memorials.
