Old picture, new editing. A statue of Abraham Lincoln that sets outside his tomb in Springfield, IL. Tourists rub his nose for luck, if they can reach it (it's the correct height for Abraham Lincoln), which is why the nose is still a bright brass.
@tsteall Hahaha! I do stuff like that all the time! @tuya Before he ran for President he didn't have a beard and a little girl wrote him a letter and told him he'd look better with a beard, that it would make his nose look less big. @mittens Thanks!
I've passed it but never studied in it. I went through the museum a few years ago they have a 3 minute? 6 minute? Map showing the history of the Civil War now - have you seen it? It's brilliant.
@therubysusan We have gone many times. We love that museum. We used to go every spring with the Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts as part of Lincoln Pilgrimage. I had no idea so many people hated Lincoln until you walk through the area with all of the notes and political cartoons. He was not as well-loved during his day.
