About Nathan Hale
Nathan Hale is a bronze sculpture of Nathan Hale, an American Patriot, soldier and spy for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, unveiled by the Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York during the celebration of Evacuation Day, November 25, 1893. It originally stood at the corner of Broadway and Chambers Street in Manhattan. Currently it is located at the steps of New York City Hall. The image of Nathan Hale gazed at passersby in almost the same location, where on September 22, 1776, he was hanged by Loyalist partisans during the American Revolution. Standing eight feet tall, the sculpture was created by Frederick William MacMonnies, a pupil of August St. Gaudens. It cost approximately $15,000 when completed and mounted.
