Dedication of Charles G. Roebling Statue was held on Sunday, September 14, 2008, at 1 PM at the Roebling Circle (Fifth Avenue and Main Street) in Roebling, NJ.

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 was commissioned by the contemporary sculptor, Morris Docktor.  This massive fundraising effort was spearheaded by the Friend of Roebling who wrote two highly successful Images of America publications: Roebling and Roebling Revisited This group is in association with the Roebling Garden Club.

The sculpture was created by Morris Docktor, the artist who painted the beautiful murals at Fourth Avenue and Main Street.   A twelve-inch model and photo portfolio had 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.
