Statue of George Washington (Trenton, New Jersey)

The statue is currently in the Mill Hill neighborhood of the city of Trenton in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States.[2][3] The owner of the statue was Mahlon Dickerson Eyre, a banker from Philadelphia, who was residing in Florence, Italy, at the time.[4] On April 25, 1889, the statue was sold at auction for $300 to George R. Whittaker, accompanied by two councilmen from Trenton, Edmund C. Hill and Lewis R.[1] On October 18, 1892, the statue was unveiled and dedicated as the Washington Monument in the newly created Cadwalader Park in Trenton.[6] The statue was located on a bluff facing the Delaware River, which Washington had crossed before his victory at the Battle of Trenton on the morning of December 26, 1776.
