Greater than life-sized statue of Abraham Lincoln in a pose as if in discussion. The base of the statue is inscribed:
"A GREATER TASK"
Why Should There Not Be A
Patient Confidence In The
Ultimate Justice Of The
People? Is There Any Better
Or Equal Hope. In The World?
Abraham Lincoln
First Inaugural Address March 4, 1861
The bronze statue was created by scultor John McClarey in 2004 and was placed August 11, 2006.
