The Grand Steuben Monument: A Tribute in Milwaukee's North

Situated in Milwaukee's North, standing tall at the crossroads of West Lisbon Avenue, Lloyd Street, and North Sherman Boulevard, you'll find the striking Steuben Monument. This grand bronze equestrian statue showcases Baron Friedrich Wilhelm, a Prussian general who played a significant role in aiding the American revolutionaries in their fight for independence. The statue features Steuben, saber in hand, clad in his Revolutionary War gear, making quite an impression. The statue was a masterpiece created by the Swiss-American artist J. Otto Schweizer in 1921, as a tribute to Steuben's monumental contributions. In addition, an inscription on the statue base, written in both English and German, honors Steuben's Prussian heritage.
