RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – President Donald Trump\u2019s bronze statue will be placed in its permanent home in downtown Rapid City on Tuesday, Nov. 25. <\/p>\n
The latest addition to the City of Presidents will be located at the corner of St. Joseph Street and 6th Street. <\/p>\n
The statue was first unveiled<\/a> in May and housed at the Rapid City Visitor Center for the summer season. <\/p>\n The statue is part of the privately funded nonpartisan City of Presidents project, which began in 2000 with the goal of lining downtown Rapid City streets with every president to ever sit in office. <\/p>\n Trump\u2019s statue marks a big first for the project, as this is the first time a sitting president has had his statue presented during their term. <\/p>\n As previously reported<\/a> by KOTA Territory News, the statue was commissioned after Trump\u2019s first term ended in 2021 and was completed before he was re-elected in Nov. 2024. <\/p>\n Jim Maher is the artist behind the statue and has contributed 12 other presidents as well, including Ronald Reagan, Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush. <\/p>\n Download the KOTA News App.<\/p>\n See a spelling or grammatical error in our story? Please click here<\/a> to report it.<\/p>\n
