Ulysses S. Grant Monument, Bronze equestrian monument in Lincoln Park, Chicago, US
The monument features an eighteen-foot bronze statue of Ulysses S. Grant mounted on horseback atop a forty-two-foot granite pedestal designed by Francis Whitehouse.
The memorial was dedicated in 1891 with over 200,000 attendees, including Grant's widow, family members, cabinet officials, governors, and senators present at the ceremony.
The statue honors Grant's legacy as both a Union Army commander during the Civil War and his service as the eighteenth President of the United States.
The monument stands at 2045 N Lincoln Park West, positioned west of N Cannon Drive between W Fullerton Avenue and E North Avenue in Chicago.
The statue consists of twenty-two separate metal pieces expertly joined together, making it the largest bronze statue cast in the United States at the time.
