Unfortunate that they couldn't be incorporated into an existing attraction.

A presidential miniature golf course?
Decorations for a themed restaurant near a historical park?
" " RV park near a historical landmark.
Tourist trap "Garden of Presidents" attraction?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

Sad, but looks like something out of a zombie movie to me....

This one is particularly scary.....

   

Lincoln is eerily damaged.....
