General William Tecumseh Sherman Monument reviews
8The gold on this statue is breathtaking amongst the other scenery (trees and tall buildings), it's tough not to rubber neck as you walk past this plaza. It's also a great place to start walking through Central Park.
If you look closely you'll see spikes on top of the statues. Those are for the birds! No wonder it stays so shiny. Great landmark for meeting up with people.
It was an interesting visit, it was empty and got up close without a million people in the way but yet it was sad with homeless people sleeping by. It’s so grand that it’s perfect as you walk into Central Park
We love sitting on the benches waiting people here. It is a very centralized location with great places to eat and dine. The square is clean and well cared for.
This places is exceptional and implacably. The @General William Tecumseh monument is a wonderful gate away for everything. A sculpture made by gold in the middle of Manhattan close to @The Plaza Hotel the best experience for me.
When I go to Central Park I always take pictures over here.
A tribute to the father of the "Total War" theory. Georgians should probably avoid this location.
Beautiful spot, great for pictures and easy landmark to meet people.convenient to many trains and short walk from the Paris Theater, Plaza Hotel, Bergdorf Goodman, Central Park Zoo, Barney’s etc.
There is an impressive monument of William Tecumseh Sherman at Grand Army Square on the southeast corner of Central Park in New York City. Sherman was a Union General during the American Civil War.
The monument is the works of American sculptors Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Alexander Phimister Proctor and was dedicated in 1903. It was re-gilded in 2012 returning the statue to its original bright gold colour, which is how it can be seen today.
Here you find an equestrian statue standing 15 and half feet tall, Sherman is dressed in military and overcoat while his horse is marching forward. In front of the General is a gilded angelical figure. Both stand upon a round oval shaped granite pedestal with gold inscription and engravings.
Flowerbeds are placed on the sides of the monument providing nice colour and ambience to the Sherman monument at Grand Army Square.
In the end, there are many monuments to view in and around Central Park in New York City. This is one that I have always found to be quite impressive. It is also worth checking out the Pulitizer Fountain opposite the William Tecumseh Sherman Monument on the other side of Grand Army Plaza.
