Brigadier General Kosciuszko, Bronze memorial statue in Lafayette Square, Washington, US
The bronze statue depicts Tadeusz Kościuszko in Continental Army uniform holding fortification plans while standing on a granite pedestal with allegorical figures.
Congress allocated $76,835 for the statue's creation in 1910, marking the contributions of the Polish military engineer during the American Revolutionary War.
The monument represents one of four statues in Lafayette Square dedicated to foreign military leaders who supported the American independence movement.
Visitors can observe the memorial throughout the year and read inscriptions detailing Kościuszko's military achievements on the pedestal's base.
The statue design by Antoni Popiel later served as a model for an identical monument erected in Warsaw, Poland, connecting both nations through art.
