President Lincoln's Cottage

Upshur Street at Rock Creek Church Road, NW
Washington, District of Columbia 20011

Category: Festivals

Website: http://www.lincolncottage.org

The life-sized bronze statue of President Lincoln and his horse depicts a moment in Lincoln's daily life at the cottage. A gift from Robert H. Smith and created by Studio EIS, the statue portrays Lincoln in the moments after he embarks upon or arrives home from his daily commute between the Soldier's Home and the White House. By placing the sculpture at ground level in front of the cottage, visitors for generations to come will be able to meet President Lincoln face to face at his seasonal retreat.

Metro: Georgia Ave/Petworth
