Lincoln statue, Troy, OH
On May 3, Scott Trostel spoke at the dedication of a 40,000-pound, 30-foot tall bronze statue of Lincoln in conversation with a modern person. The statue is impressive, and is part of Troy's biennial outside/sidewalk art display.
If you are in the Troy area this summer stop by to see the Lincoln statue. Contact me to let me know you are coming; I would love to meet you. |

What a creative concept having Lincoln " in conversation with a modern person." Thanks for posting. He truly does "belong to the ages!"

That is a really big sculpture. I like the idea that Lincoln is in conversation with a person of this era. Does Lincoln speak yo us? He certainly does! I understand the piece of art is on loan and will be there only for the summer.

I was trying to remember something about Troy, Ohio. Then it came to me today- Troy, Ohio- where the product bar code was used on an item for the very first time- way back in 1974---on a pack of gum. Ok, now my day is complete!

And being a most-dedicated Chicago Cubs fan I think it was Wrigley gum. |

Not sure I saw on here yet but the statue is Troy is an enlarged copy of J. Seward Johnson's statue of Lincoln and a Tourist on the Square in Gettysburg. It is just outside the Wills House. The common joke is that the tourist looks like Perry Como.
