Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - Abe Lincoln and Perry Como Time Travel or Feverish Hallucination? It's a bronze life-size statue of crooner Perry Como and President Abraham Lincoln.
When I first saw this statue, I was on a field trip with my son's fifth grade class to Gettysburg. The tour guide (gruff but lovable history buff) actually growled when we asked about it. Seems Perry Como grew up near here. He's holding the Gettysburg Address while Mr. Lincoln points up at the window of the room where he wrote it. Charming? Or just kind of weird? You be the judge. But mostly just expect the kids to say "Who's Perry Como?" [Mel Moore, 07/16/2009]
