Lincoln Landing
Overlooking the river at the end of the street, sits a large stone facing the new bridge. Back up the road on the hill, see if you can find the bears climbing a tree or the hieroglyphic statue on the left with the miniature house!

The monument is along 1st Street. The bronze relief of President Lincoln is really small compared to the limestone block. It appears they should have made his presence a little larger. At 1st and Main Street there is a historical marker marking the place where President Lincoln stayed in a tavern.
