Giant Abe Lincoln

Here is a really large Lincoln. He can be found traveling North on I-57 toward Chicago, at the 316 mile marker, very near the Kankakee exit. Looks like he may have been holding something in his left hand at one time...probably an ax. So there you have it.

Abe is 28 feet tall and stands in front of Alexander Construction and Innovative Mobile Marketing. His hand is designed to hold signs that promote whatever Mr. Alexander feels strongly about at the moment.
