Statue of James A. Garfield, Bronze presidential monument in Piatt Park, Cincinnati, United States.
The Statue of James A. Garfield is a bronze work standing in Piatt Park showing the former president in an upright pose. The figure holds papers in the right hand while making an expressive gesture with the left.
The work was created in 1885 by sculptor Charles Henry Niehaus to honor the 20th President of the United States. Garfield served for just four months before being assassinated.
The monument reflects Cincinnati's pride in honoring one of its own, as Garfield had strong ties to the city before his national rise. Locals and visitors pause here to acknowledge a native son who reached the highest office in the country.
The statue sits at the Vine Street end of Piatt Park and is easy to locate. The park provides benches and walking paths that let you view the memorial comfortably.
The memorial moved through Cincinnati several times before settling in its current location during 1988. It originally stood at the intersection of Eighth and Race Streets.
