Soldier Lincoln: Dixon, Illinois
It's the only statue depicting the Great Emancipator as a young military man, looking out at the river and trying his damnedest to remember the commands he'll need to lead his men.
Last Stop, Mr. Lincoln: Springfield Train Station
A simple, elegant black stone monument that marks the final stop on the biggest funeral procession the country had - and probably has - ever seen.
Thomas Jefferson is Waiting for a Bus: Jefferson Park Transit Center, Chicago
You just never know who you'll run into on Chicago's L trains, do you?
Rise of the Three-Headed President: Lincoln Landing, Lockport, Illinois
Lots of towns promote events or historic sites connected to the Great Emancipator, but the town of Lockport has outdone them all. Their Lincoln statue has three heads.
George Washington, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot: The Heald Square Monument, Chicago
Attention Jeff Tweedy of Wilco: George Washington is an American aquarium drinker, and he is trying to break your heart.
The Lincoln Watermelon: Lincoln, IL
Who knew a president - especially one as well known as Abraham Lincoln - could be represented by fruit?
Gerald R. Ford House
A house says a lot about a person, and that's often the case when the person in question is a president. Gerald Ford's house in Alexandria reveals him to be a suburban dad. A regular guy. Just like you figured, right?
Ulysses S Grant Memorial
If you're starting your tour of the National Mall at the US Capitol, your first stop as you head west is likely to be the US Grant Memorial. It's probably good to get it out of the way early, cause it's pretty strong stuff.
Escape From Theodore Roosevelt Island
Theodore Roosevelt's statue did not laugh, however. Instead, it spoke softly – or at least I thought it did. You, it told me, like so many before you, are now mine... I have a special expedition planned for you... we'll leave at once!
Jefferson Memorial
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man" - stirring words, but also easy to take out of context if a photographer decides to crop his photos for that ridiculous and nefarious purpose.
