Sit with Lincoln on a Couch

We went searching for this attraction after we saw the Leaning Tower of Niles. We found the Veteran's Waterfall, but alas there was not a couch to be sat on, nor a lengthy President to sit with. Sadly this attraction was short lived. [Jean Gutoski, 03/20/2010]

[RA: July 2011: The Lincoln statue is apparently seasonal, reported to be seated and ready between Memorial Day and Labor Day or thereabouts.]
