The General Wayne Statue is a tourist attraction located at 8500 South Outer Line Drive in Wayne, Pennsylvania, United States. This monument is dedicated to Brigadier General Anthony Wayne, featuring a bronze statue of him on horseback atop a pink granite base. The statue highlights Wayne's important role in the military, with plaques detailing his various positions and achievements throughout his lifetime. The monument was the first constructed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at Valley Forge, with funding from the state legislature and oversight from the Wayne Monument Commission. Renowned sculptor Henry K. Bush-Brown created the statue, which was duplicated from the Anthony Wayne monument at Stony Brook. The dedication ceremony included music, prayer, and speeches praising Wayne's bravery and leadership during the Revolutionary War. Wayne's former home, Waynesborough, is also a historic site in Chester County. Additionally, a statue of Wayne can be found at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The General Wayne Statue serves as a lasting tribute to this courageous and esteemed military leader.
