Lincoln Heritage Scenic Highway
Adolph Weinman’s Abraham Lincoln Statue, KY

This statue was created by noted New York sculptor Adolph A. Weinman (1870 – 1952) and was placed on the square in 1909 to honor the Centennial of Lincoln’s Birth. Sculptures by Weinman can be found at the Jefferson Memorial, the U.S. Supreme Court, State Capitol Buildings in Wisconsin, Missouri, and Louisiana, and he was the designer of a half-dollar titled “Walking Liberty.” Across the square from the Weinman Lincoln statue is a statue of younger Lincoln dedicated in 2008.
