Lincoln statue

One of the most famous Lincoln statues in the United States is found in Carle Park, established in 1909 just south of downtown. Lincoln the Lawyer, a sculpture by Lorado Taft, is located opposite the entrance to Urbana High School. The statue was dedicated by Taft on July 3, 1927, and placed in the park six months later. In recent years, the statue has undergone careful restoration.
