Inscription.
The 2012-13 Fourth grade class of Riverdale Elementary commissioned this wooden statue of Abraham Lincoln, dedicated May 2013. The project was graciously funded by the Dekko Foundation and was crafted by our local artist, David Drake.

The class objective was to select and nominate famous historical people associated with Indiana. President Lincoln was the school's choice and becomes the first statue placed upon the St. Joseph River Greenway.

Donated by Lutheran Foundation of NE Indiana & St. Mark Lutheran Church, St. Joe
