Columbia Triumphant Park and Statue
Liberty Triumphant
Monmouth County Historical Site
Columbia Triumphant Park
This granite carving of Columbia Triumphant–also known as Liberty Triumphant–was part of the original statue placed atop the monument located on nearby Court Street commemorating the June 28, 1778 Battle of Monmouth, a major turning point in the American Revolutionary War. Damaged by lightning in 1894, the statue was removed and this bust then served as a model for the 1896 replica which stands in its place today.
Marker is on East Main Street (New Jersey Route 79).
