UW’s Lincoln statue turns 100 (AP)

The elegant Abraham Lincoln statue atop the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Bascom Hill marks a notable milestone.

The replica of sculptor Adoph Weinman’s original of Lincoln seated in thoughtful pose is being cleaned and waxed for its 100-year anniversary celebrations in July and September. The events will include Lincoln impersonators and explanations about Lincoln’s connections to Wisconsin.
