The community was invited to join in the momentous unveiling of the statue depicting our very first veterans. On hand was be sculptor Jay Warren.

So it’s been 8 years in the making… and finally we are at the gates of history- local and much larger!
The Battle of Pines Bridge Monument Committee, on behalf of the Town of Yorktown, the Yorktown Chamber of Commerce and the Yorktown Historical Society, is proud to announce the near completion of the Battle of Pines Bridge Monument!
During the summer of 2016, the Town of Yorktown Town Board unanimously voted to assume the contract with renowned sculptor Jay Warren to bring this grassroots project to completion.
Currently, Mr. Warren is molding the clay-molds for the full-size statues for their final bronze state. We are working on the ancillary parts of the monument in order for visitors to interpret the significance of our first veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice here in Yorktown.
While originally the monument was slated for Downing Park, the ultimate location has not been finalized yet. All past and future sponsors, donors, as well as the community at large should stay tuned to this page, as well as our Facebook page (Remember the Revolution – Yorktown Hts, NY), for updates and announcements as we approach the finish line.
Thank you to all for your interest and support- huzzah!
