Madison Square, Park in the historic district of Savannah, Georgia, US

Madison Square is a park in Savannah, Georgia, laid out in 1837 on Bull Street at Macon Street. At its center stands the William Jasper Monument, an 1888 work by Alexander Doyle: a bronze soldier on a tall light-gray stone base, holding a flag on a pole in his right hand, one foot forward, with a dark plaque set into the stone below and the inscription "Dedicated by the Jasper Monument Association" on the bottom base.

The square was laid out in 1837 as the fourth in the Bull Street grid, and was named after James Madison, the fourth president of the United States. During the Civil War, the neighboring Green-Meldrim House served as General Sherman's headquarters.

Locals call the square Jasper Square after Sergeant William Jasper, whose 1888 bronze by Alexander Doyle stands at the center. The figure holds a flag overhead, recalling how the mortally wounded Jasper recovered his company's banner during the siege of Savannah. The monument was dedicated by the Jasper Monument Association.

The square is easy to reach on foot from central Savannah and works well as a stop during a walk through the historic district. Several buildings around the square, including the Green-Meldrim House, offer tours on certain days, so it is worth combining a visit with a neighborhood walk.

The monument's base is engraved "Dedicated by the Jasper Monument Association." The square also holds a vintage cannon from the Savannah Armory, marking the start of Georgia's first highways, the Ogeechee Road to Darien and the Augusta Road. A separate monument marks the center of the British resistance during the siege.
