The Boy Lincoln Sculpture Dedication and Unveiling Ceremony

About THE BOY LINCOLN
The Daub-Firmin-Hendrickson in-the-round sculpture portrays Abraham Lincoln shortly before his eighth birthday, leaning against an old tree trunk on his family farm near Hodgenville, Kentucky. He is reading a copy of Webster’s Elementary Spelling-book, and has a linen satchel filled with ears of corn, a fishing pole and his dog “Honey” sitting attentively close by. The sculpture is positioned on the Hodgenville Town Square so the young Lincoln’s gaze is into the face of himself: a seated portrait of President Lincoln done by Adolph A. Weinman, dedicated on May 31, 1909. The Boy Lincoln piece was funded by the Kentucky Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission and the Kentucky Arts Council.
