Time Warp: Abe Lincoln Meets Perry Como
"Chillin' with Abe" is what this should be titled. Right in the main circle that connects town to the adjacent areas.

Oddly realistic, other than Lincoln being dead and all.
[Lora, 11/26/2011]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?"
