Statue of Artemas Ward

General Artemas Ward is a bronze statue of American Revolutionary War general Artemas Ward by Leonard Crunelle at Ward Circle, at the intersection of Nebraska and Massachusetts Avenues in Northwest, Washington, D.C.
As a part of bequest of George Artemas Ward, great grandson of the general, to Harvard University, the sculpture was funded for $50,000. Increases in the cost of bronze made an equestrian memorial unaffordable.
It was unveiled on November 3, 1938 by Maj. Gen. Ward's great-great-great-granddaughter, Mrs. Lewis Wesley Feick, and is authorized by (45 Stat. 689). The base of the statue bears this inscription:

DELEGATE 1780–1781 TO THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS<br>

As part of American Revolution Statuary in Washington, D.C. the statue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
