The Rockmen Guardians, also known as the Four Rock Guardians, are a striking group of sculptures located in Rockford, Illinois, along the Rock River recreation path. Created by artist Terese Agnew of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, these larger-than-life male warrior figures are crafted from granite rocks and cement, standing at an impressive height of about 12 feet.

Built in the late 1980s, these iconic statues have become a popular attraction for tourists exploring the scenic Rock River area. Their unique design and historical significance make them a must-see landmark for visitors and locals alike.
