Lincoln Monument, Bronze sculpture in President's Park, Dixon, United States.
Lincoln Monument is a bronze sculpture in President's Park in Dixon that portrays Abraham Lincoln at age 23. The figure wears military attire and holds his coat, capturing him during an early period of his life before entering politics.
Artist Leonard Crunelle created this sculpture in 1930 to honor Lincoln's service as a captain during the Black Hawk War of 1832. The memorial connects his early military role with his later prominence in American history.
The monument stands as a representation of Lincoln's early military leadership before his presidency, marking a significant period in American history.
The monument sits at the corner of Hennepin and Lincoln Streets and remains accessible from sunrise to sunset throughout the year. Visitors can view the sculpture outdoors without requiring admission fees or special arrangements.
The granite base includes an inscription honoring John Dixon, the city's founder, intertwining local history with national significance. This dual tribute makes the monument speak to both the community's origins and Lincoln's national legacy.
