Major the Bull Sculpture
Phone: (919) 687-0288
Overview
No trip to Durham is complete without a visit to CCB Plaza to see Major the Bull, a gigantic bronze bull ready to greet you in the center of downtown. In 2003, Central Carolina Bank (now Truist) commissioned the 10-foot, one-ton statue. The iconic bull was cast by Liberty Arts to be an icon for the City of Durham, named for George "Major" Watts Hill, an executive at CCB Bank and Durham City Councilmember. It is said to be good luck to rub Major's horns.

If you are visiting Durham, Major is a must stop for a good photo opportunity. Lots of history and Major is the mascot of the town... You know The Durham Bulls and all. Lots of detail in the statue even down the extreme size of his manhood.
