New Abraham Lincoln statue unveiled in Wilkinsburg
Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021 – TribLive – Abe Lincoln is back in Wilkinsburg. A new 400-pound bronze life-size statue of the 16th president of the United States was unveiled Tuesday morning in the Wilkinsburg Borough Municipal Building.
The approximately 6-foot-4 statue (same height as the man himself) will replace the battered sheet-copper Lincoln statue that was dedicated in 1916 and stood at the intersection of Penn Avenue and Ardmore Boulevard for over a century before being brought inside the Borough Building two years ago.
