This Google Map is part of PBS’s Looking For Lincoln documentary. Given that some of project artist ARCHIVE’s work focuses on Lincoln statues, I thought other folks might be interested in finding statues near them and maybe making their own art based on these statues.
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and a bust of Abraham I don't think I see the similarity. ...
I wanted to see where Lincoln lived for a while. I always just imagined him in front of a log cabin ...
Seeing Lincoln, Speed Racer, and a two-headed baby all at once really makes you think.

Each of the Lincoln statue pictures on the website was taken by me over the past 4 years. I have visited and photographed well over 200 statues, monuments and memorials to Lincoln in my travels throughout the United States - including Hawaii.
I hope to publish these in a book in the next year or two using the title “A Life Worth Remembering - The Monumental Legacy of Abraham Lincoln.”
There’s a statue of Abraham Lincoln in Racine, Wisconsin that I did not see in the map. It is located at the intersection where State Street, Harriet Street, Hamilton Street and Summit Avenue all come together (in a little triangular patch of grass). I know because I grew up a couple of blocks from there and we used to climb on it as kids. Over time the statue turned green, as most of them do. However a few years back he was restored to his original color.
