Sorry Roger, but neither of those are correct. It's in the Midwest.

RE: Statue Trivia
How about Beloit, Wisconsin? Lincoln was there during the Black Hawk War (1832) and again to give a speech (1859).

RE: Statue Trivia
That's a logical guess, but not correct.

RE: Statue Trivia
No, Mike. It was a political event.

RE: Statue Trivia
This place was also famous for its connection to another person.

RE: Statue Trivia
Next clue. Remember my research interests.

(02-13-2024 08:49 AM)Rob Wick Wrote: Next clue. Remember my research interests. That looks similar to Vinnie Ream's statue of Lincoln (pose, etc.). But that statue is inside in the US Capitol. There is a copy of Ream's statue in Galesburg, IL (I don't remember who made the copy). It's just outside the train station. I visited it several years ago. Seeing as how Galesburg is also Sandburg country (in addition to being the site of the 5th Lincoln-Douglas debate), that would be my guess. |

RE: Statue Trivia
Sorry Gene, but Scott got it. The statue is outside the train museum in Galesburg. I took the picture when I spoke at the Sandburg Days Festival of the Mind a few years ago.
