ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Before he was a  Lawyer, Legislator, President or preserving the Union, Abraham Lincoln was a Surveyor. 

The statue of Abraham Lincoln as a surveyor in New Salem, Illinois was dedicated October 4, 2003.

​

It depicts Lincoln using surveyor tools like the ones he owned when he lived in this village and worked in the surrounding area. The inscription on the base reads, "A. Lincoln - Deputy Surveyor, Sangamon County, Illinois 1833-1837."

​

The base also reads, "Unsuspecting as he was in this place, young Lincoln's honesty and fairness as a surveyor, and his knowledge of the land and its people, set him on a journey that led to the Presidency of the United States." The Illinois Professional Land Surveyors Association commissioned the statue.
