The legacy of the Roebling name is the Village of Roebling, New Jersey. To honor our Village’s founder on the 100th Anniversary, a life-size bronze sculpture of Charles G. Roebling is being commissioned by the contemporary sculptor, Morris Docktor. This massive fundraising effort is the new project of the Friends of Roebling who wrote the highly successful Images of America: Roebling, which is currently in its second printing. This group is in association with the Roebling Garden Club.
The sculpture is created by Morris Docktor, the artist who recently painted the beautiful murals at Fourth Avenue and Main Street. A twelve-inch model and photo portfolio has been created as a start to this project. The Florence Township Council has passed a resolution allowing the placement of the statue at the Roebling Circle facing the mill. We have chosen this endeavor because of our pride in the Village and the John A. Roebling’s Sons Company and what that company provided for us and the rest of the world.
A sculpture of this magnitude, created by such a renown sculptor, does come with a price and we need your financial assistance.
