Start a Half-Day Walk at Sherman Monument
Meet friends for a stroll by the 24-foot statue, whose figure of Victory was modeled by Hettie Anderson.
✨ Gold at Grand Army Plaza
Meet your friends at the William Tecumseh Sherman Monument at the Fifth Avenue entrance to Central Park. Standing 24 feet high, it shows Sherman on his horse, Ontario, with Victory leading the way. Look closer at Victory, modeled by Hettie Anderson, a prominent African American model of the Gilded Age.
The gilded bronze catches sunlight, while illuminated skyscrapers frame the monument at night. The site is open daily from 6 AM to 1 AM, leaving room for an afternoon stop or a late walk. Make this your starting point for a half day Manhattan stroll.
