Description and history
The bronze sculpture is a second cast of the original designed by Widnmann, completed in 1863 and installed in Maximiliansplatz, Munich. The Columbus sculpture was completed in Germany in 1891,[2] transported across the Atlantic Ocean, and erected by the German-Americans of Columbus on July 4.[3][4] The sculpture was rededicated on July 4, 1991.[4] In 2012, Friends of Schiller Park funded the installation of lights to illuminate the monument.[5]
