Bring Caesar Rodney Home

For nearly a century, the Caesar Rodney statue stood in Wilmington's Rodney Square, honoring the Delaware patriot whose legendary overnight ride helped secure Delaware's vote for American independence.

Removed from Rodney Square in 2020, the statue is now temporarily on public display in Washington, D.C., as America celebrates its 250th anniversary.

But when the celebration ends, where should Caesar Rodney go?

Help Decide Where Delaware History Belongs

Caesar Rodney's story is inseparable from Delaware's role in the founding of our nation. His statue is more than a monument—it is a tangible connection to the people, decisions, and events that shaped both Delaware and America.

The Caesar Rodney Institute believes the statue should return to Delaware and remain publicly accessible for future generations.

Now we want Delawareans to have a voice in where it should call home.
