United Empire Loyalist Statue

Description

This monument honors the United Empire Loyalists, who fled to British North America following the American Declaration of Independence. Despite the loss of property, imprisonment, and intense persecution, these Loyalists maintained unwavering loyalty to the British Crown. Their courage and endurance helped establish Canada’s foundations within the British Empire.

Dedicated, May 23, 1929

The Monument was a generous gift presented to the City of Hamilton by Stanley Mills.

Rededication, June 25, 1958

The monument, just a few years after its unveiling, was used as the subject of the United Empire Loyalist Commemorative Plate. The Monument was unveiled a second time when the new Hamilton and Wentworth Co. Courthouse was built. His Excellency Governor General Vincent Massey spoke and performed the unveiling ceremony.
