About This Memorial

The Bronx Victory Memorial in Pelham Bay Park commemorates the 947 soldiers from the Bronx who died in World War I. Dedicated in 1933, this impressive monument features a 70-foot Corinthian column topped by a gilded bronze 'Lady of Victory' statue, with limestone reliefs depicting marching soldiers. Designed by architect John J. Sheridan and sculptors Belle Kinney and Leopold Scholz, it stands as one of New York City's most striking war memorials. The site includes a landscaped plaza and was restored in 2001, when a time capsule from 1932 was discovered and replaced with new materials.

"Beautiful monument with an area to sit around it. The highlight right now is the gorgeous osprey nest on the top! You can see the pair circling and it is a great example of how nature intersects with our lives here in the city."
