Leif Erikson Monument, Humboldt Park, Chicago. Dedicated October 12, 1901, moved to its present location in 1950. Sigvald Asbjørnsen (1867-1954), a Norwegian-born sculptor, created the monument.

It sits on a large granite boulder inscribed "Leif Erikson Discoverer of America." – Paul R. Burley, CC BY-SA 4.0 – Wikimedia Commons
