Official Site of The State of New Jersey

Commissioned in 1908, the Monument was designed by the prominent Beaux Arts sculptor Frederick MacMonnies with the assistance of architect Thomas Hastings. President Warren G. Harding was present for the 1922 dedication of the Monument.

 Frederick William MacMonnies (1863 – 1937) was the best known expatriate American sculptor of the Beaux-arts School. He was equally as successful and lauded in France as he was in the United States. MacMonnies died at age 73 in New York City.
