You might be able to know where this is, but tell us anyway. But do you know who that statue is of?

    Correct, it is Rockford Park and that is Rockford Tower. Anyone know the statue is of? Hint: famous last name for Delaware.

    Correct. That is Admiral Samuel Francis DuPont. This statue used to stand in DuPont Circle in Washington, D.C., but the DuPont family decided to bring the statue home to Wilmington and build a fountain in the Cirle instead.
