The statue will be officially undraped in a ceremony beginning at 4
p.m. outside the main atrium entrance of the new facility. The
life-size, 6-foot-4-inch sculpture depicting a young, beardless
Abraham Lincoln was created by Bloomington artist Andrew Jumonville
and will promote the "Lincoln in Illinois" theme of the Lincoln
Heritage Museum, scheduled to open in its new location within the
Lincoln Center in 2011. The artist will be in attendance at the
unveiling.
