The GEORGE ROGERS CLARK MEMORIAL, Main St. and Fry's Springs Rd., is a bronze group by Robert Aitken, unveiled in 1921, commemorating the conquest of the Northwest Territory. George Rogers Clark, astride his horse, is shown among scouts and Indians.

The statue is located in a shady corner park at the edge of UVa campus along a busy road. Statue in good condition in maintained area.
I believe Fry's Springs Rd may have been renamed Jefferson Park Avenue as reasonable route to that city neighborhood. The coordinates above will get you to the statue.
