About the General William Tecumseh Sherman Monument
The General William Tecumseh Sherman Monument, located at 764 Doris C Freedman Place in New York City, is a must-visit tourist attraction. This towering monument to Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman, created by the renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, stands proudly on the north side of Grand Army Plaza. The monument, unveiled in 1903, depicts Sherman on his horse, Ontario, led by the allegorical figure of Victory. The restoration of the monument in September 2015 by the Central Park Conservancy included cleaning the bronze, regilding the surface with gold leaf, and applying a protective wax coating to enhance the sculptural detail. The plaza surrounding the monument was also restored to its historic 1916 design, making it a beautiful and vibrant part of Central Park. Visitors can learn about the history of the monument through self-guided tours and appreciate the art and architecture of this significant landmark. Make a gift today to help the Central Park Conservancy in its mission to maintain the beauty and vitality of this iconic park.

Reviews of General William Tecumseh Sherman Monument
"Stunning gold monument standing at the corner of Central Park on fifth Ave. I can say almost everyone who coms to this park has to take a picture of this statue at least one time. William Tecumseh Sherman Memorial is one of the popular tourist attractions of New York City."
"Beautiful monument base in Central city beside the Plaza Hotel"
"Incredible beautiful monument in the heart of the city and on the south edge of Central Park"
"Visited this gilded wonder 2014, but there was some sort of rally being held there. I tried to take pictures without people in the shot but back in 2014 my camera didn't focus well as I tried to get angles with no one in the picture. Nevertheless, I can't get over how beautiful it was. I hope to come back early in the morning so I can take better pictures with less blurriness and people."
"What a beautiful statue! You can't miss it as you walk, bike or drive by. It is completely gold colored and pops out against the building background. Great details on the statue and it is located in a small plaza in a busy intersection. Apple store is across the street, huge store underground, as well as an entrance to the zoo through a walkway the other direction from the apple store."
