Eisenhower Statehood Monument

The Eisenhower Statehood Monument features a bronze bust of President Dwight D. Eisenhower set upon a pedestal, marking the moment he signed the legislation in nineteen fifty-nine that made Alaska the forty-ninth state. Located on the edge of downtown Anchorage near the railroad station, the monument sits within a small plaza that provides views toward the port and the Chugach Mountains.
