Equestrian statue of William Henry Harrison
Equestrian statue of William Henry Harrison, Equestrian statue in Piatt Park, Cincinnati, United States
The equestrian statue of William Henry Harrison is a bronze sculpture depicting the mounted president on an unsaddled horse installed on a tall granite pedestal in Piatt Park. The work combines careful craftsmanship with architectural details to create a striking presence in the park.
The monument was designed by sculptor Louis Rebisso and first shown at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1892 before being permanently placed in Cincinnati in 1896. The gap between its creation and installation shows its journey from a world fair to a local landmark.
The statue honors a significant figure in American political history who held various offices in Ohio. It stands in a central park and marks a moment of political influence in the region.
The monument sits at the corner of Garfield Place and Elm Street, where informative plaques explain its background and details. The location in the central park is easy to reach on foot and offers good views from different angles.
The horse wears stirrups even though it lacks a saddle, an unusual artistic choice. This detail makes the monument noteworthy among equestrian statue enthusiasts and sets it apart from similar works elsewhere.
