I came across this monument after visiting the nearby Lincoln Park Conservatory. The monument isn’t that interesting to be honest. Just a statue of Abraham Lincoln. Not worth a visit, but if it’s in your path, why not?

The monument is of Lincoln standing by a chair. It is set on a raised semi-circle area with a bench in the raised area. Since the statue is in Lincoln Park it is quite appropriate that the statue stands tall - it is also lit...More
Our tour guide said it was intended to be a park with all of the presidents, but funding went away, so it's only little old lincoln sitting in his chair, presiding over some construction...
Nicely landscaped. A touch of the monumental essence of Washington DC. Sit down and relax. Walk north to the Farm in the Zoo, or a little further to Lincoln Park Zoo (the largest free zoo in the United States). Or try out of Chicago History...More
