In September 2025, many of us will be taking part in the 30-Day Monuments Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we will spotlight one of the nearly 50,000 National Monuments or Memorials across the United States. In addition, we’ll feature a wide range of other tributes—from statues honoring heroes and athletes to memorials recognizing outstanding citizens and many other categories. Today the post is on ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The National Monument Audit, conducted by Monument Lab with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, analyzed around 50,000 public monuments across the U.S. It found that Abraham Lincoln leads the list, with 193 monuments dedicated to him

My focus today is on the Gettysburg Address and the various Abraham Lincoln Statues located in Gettysburg PA.
