Marshall and I visited the new Abraham Lincoln statue on the McDonough County Courthouse Square in Macomb, Illinois on July 11th, 2026, and it’s genuinely a charming addition to the square. Most of the figure was cast in concrete from a vintage mold, but Lincoln’s right hand is cast in bronze so visitors can “shake” his hand—a small, thoughtful detail that makes the whole piece feel unexpectedly personal.

Marshall immediately noticed the book in Lincoln’s left hand: the Holy Bible. That detail ties beautifully into Lincoln’s legacy, since biblical themes shaped at least two of his most famous speeches—The House Divided Speech delivered at the Old State Capitol in Springfield on June 16, 1858, and The Gettysburg Address delivered at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863.

A fun bit of local history: the statue stands near the very spot where Lincoln addressed the residents of Macomb on October 26, 1858, shortly after the conclusion of the Lincoln–Douglas Debates. It’s a quiet reminder that even small towns carry pieces of the national story.
