Equestrian statue of George Meade, Bronze equestrian statue in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, United States.
The statue depicts General George Meade mounted on his horse Old Baldy, cast in bronze with a granite pedestal reaching 23 feet total height.
Alexander Milne Calder created this memorial in 1887 using metal from Confederate cannons to honor the Union Army commander who led forces at Gettysburg.
The monument resulted from a community fundraising campaign led by Philadelphia women to commemorate General Meade's military achievements after his death.
The statue stands at the intersection of George's Hill Drive and Lansdowne Drive, near the Please Touch Museum in West Fairmount Park.
The pedestal contains inscriptions detailing the foundry information and displays Meade in his complete military uniform with precise period details.
