Abe Lincoln Reading on a BIG Covered Wagon - Route 66 - The Mother Road on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
This covered wagon has wheels that are 12 feet high. Many covered wagons crossed Illinois as they headed west to the frontier. Abe Lincoln became a great lawyer in Illinois and was the President of the United States during the Civil War. This statue of "Abe", if he stood up, would also be 12 feet high.

The photo posted here was taken last fall when it resided several miles south of its current location. It was moved to Lincoln, IL and rededicated in January, 2007.

The category managers made me aware of the change of locations and requested that I change the coordinates. The coordinates listed are for the new location according to Mapsource and a Googled map. Be aware that it may be a city block off or more.
