Abe the Axe Murderer! I agree with the former comment about the creepiness factor here. At least the Covid-era Abe is fully vaxed.
Across the street is the newly opened Route 66 giant slide and the soon-to-be opened Route 66 Experience Park. Mahan's gas station is a block away.
[Stephanie Stuckey, 05/18/2023]There's a TERRIFYING giant fiberglass Abe Lincoln holding an ax at the Illinois State Fair Grounds here. He looks more like a crazed ax-murderer than the Great Emancipator. Reportedly, children cower and cry at the sight of him.
