The latest update said that Washington and Lincoln were moved from Neenah. This is not true. Surprisingly, Washington and Lincoln are in both locations: the Fox River Mall parking lot and on W. Wisconsin St. in downtown Neenah. Heck, go sit with Washington and Lincoln at both locations, but I would suggest the ones in Neenah because you can also sit with Benjamin Franklin (by the Neenah library) and Thomas Jefferson (one block from the library).

The seated statues of Lincoln and Washington have been moved from their previous spots in Neenah. Now they're in front of the Scheels store at the Fox River Mall in Appleton. I stumbled upon them by accident.
