The Lincoln Statue in Chicago, IL is a unique and significant sculpture of Abraham Lincoln. Unlike other statues of the president, this statue depicts him without his famous beard, showcasing his appearance during his visits to Chicago in the mid-19th century. The statue was created to inspire hope and remind people of their freedom, symbolizing the values that Lincoln stood for.
In the past, the statue was located in the middle of a traffic triangle at the intersection of Lincoln, Lawrence, and Western. However, due to traffic engineering issues and safety concerns, it was later moved in front of Walgreens. The statue holds historical and cultural significance for the city, serving as a reminder of Lincoln's legacy and the importance of human rights.
