Statue of Abraham Lincoln, Bronze statue in South Park Blocks, Portland, United States

The Statue of Abraham Lincoln is a ten-foot bronze figure of the standing president by sculptor George Fite Waters, set in Portland's South Park Blocks. It was cast on Lincoln's birthday in 1927 at Claude Valsuani's foundry in France and dedicated on October 5, 1928. Protesters toppled it in October 2020; reinstallation is planned for summer or fall 2026.

Sculptor George Fite Waters created the statue, which was dedicated in 1928 and stood at its original downtown location for nearly a century. In 2020 it was removed by protesters, sparking regional discussions about how communities preserve public art.

The statue was toppled on Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage in October 2020, alongside the nearby Theodore Roosevelt, Rough Rider. In July 2021, Sandy mayor Stan Pulliam proposed relocating it and other removed Portland statues to Sandy, saying he was "tired of the embarrassment."

The statue sits in a central location that is easy to reach on foot and surrounded by other downtown attractions. Visitors should note that its current location or status may have changed, so checking local information before visiting is helpful.

The statue was a familiar landmark for many decades before its removal in 2020, which led to discussions about relocating it to other locations such as the nearby town of Sandy. This makes it a notable example of how cities navigate decisions about public monuments.
