The Minute Man is an 1874 sculpture by Daniel Chester French in Minute Man National Historical Park, located in Concord, Massachusetts, United States. It was created between 1871 and 1874 after extensive research, and was originally intended to be made of stone. The medium was switched to bronze and it was cast from ten Civil War-era cannons appropriated by Congress.
