    Description: 
    A bronze portrait of Samuel Wilson, later known as Uncle Sam, is installed on a limestone base in front of a wall which rises from the back of the base. The wall is adorned with a rectangular bronze relief which depicts the life and work of Samuel Wilson in Troy and Mason, New Hampshire, and in Menotomy, Massachusetts (now known as Arlington, Massachusetts). Beside the relief is the standing portrait of Wilson carrying his top hat in the crook of his proper left arm and extending his proper right hand slightly. The relief to his proper right includes a depiction of the familiar image of the elderly "Uncle Sam" figure in top hat and tails. At the top of the relief is a butcher and a ship coming in to dock next to the word "TROY." In the middle of the relief is a pioneer couple standing behind a fence with the words "MASON N-H." At the bottom of the relief is a soldier on horseback above the work "MENOTOMY."
