It was a joy watching the choreography of placement for Seward Johnson's Return Visit as this 38,000 lb Abe Lincoln was placed overlooking the Riverfront. Many thanks to John Morris, the Board of Directors at the Peoria Riverfront Museum and the people at the Seward Johnson Atelier who made this "gift on loan" possible for the next year. #EmormousAbeLincoln | City of Peoria Illinois - Government
