Heights are the statue alone, without pedestal, base or tower, from the source linked on each name, checked Nov 2026. Where a source doesn’t separate a statue from the platform it stands on, we use the height it gives the statue. Equestrian heights include the horse. Busts, heads and buildings shaped like figures are left out.
Every state: the tallest statues in America.
