The Abraham Lincoln statue on Victory Memorial Drive was unveiled during a ceremony held on May 25, 1930. The creation and erection of the statue were spearheaded and funded by the Grand Army of the Republic and intended to memorialize Minnesota’s fallen Civil War soldiers. The seated man at center is operating machinery allowing for a radio broadcast of the event.
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
