Welcome to the Hillsboro Illinois Abraham Lincoln Statue Home Page.

The unveiling and dedication took place on Saturday, Aug. 15, 2009 to commemorate the 125th Old Settlers Days celebration and the Lincoln Bicentennial. The nearly 7-foot tall bronze statue depicts Lincoln in his mid-30s, wearing a top hat and coat. He has just arrived in town, having put down his travel bag and umbrella, and he’s leaning back slightly to get the kinks out of his back from the long buggy ride from Springfield.
