George Gordon Meade Memorial - George Gordon Meade, “The Hero of Gettysburg,” is a largely overshadowed general whose adoptive home state of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania erected this monument in 1927 in his honour and memory. There was lots of debate about whomever should sculpt it and where it should go, and ultimately it was Charles Grafly from Philadelphia and placed on the grounds near the Capitol and other Union general, Ulysses S. Grant. This is an allegorical sculpture with Meade surrounded by his values. This was moved and neglected for years, perhaps like General Meade’s legacy, but fittingly, it now sits on Pennsylvania Avenue. I would highly recommend a visit, you never know when the mob will turn on it and tear it down.

Just stroll through the city and enjoy. Lots of beautiful buildings to look at and in this case the sculpture.
