A statue of Caesar Rodney was installed in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. The statue was erected in Rodney Square in downtown Wilmington on July 4, 1923. It was designed by New York sculptor James Edward Kelly. The Gorham Company in Rhode Island cast the statue and its two bronze plaques. The memorial was removed in June 2020 at a cost of $33,561.80. It is currently being stored in Swedesboro, NJ, in a private storage facility, at a cost of $100.00 per month. Its plans for future display are currently unclear, and its removal has generated controversy.
