Such an awesome place to visit to learn a little history! They also have Lincoln And Douglas statues! Kids loved it.

4 stars because its cool history. Not 5 because the surrounding area is kind of depressing light industrial and it seems out of place. If the statue of Douglas is life-sized, that guy was short! History buffs and few else will find this worthy of a stop, but it is a part of American history.

It was too sunny/hot on the path to read most of the signs bit the ones we did look at were very informative and I liked the sculpture. They should have a few more garbage cans though since it is right next to an ice cream parlor. The ones that were there were overflowing with garbage.

This is a peaceful place that depicts our 16th president. There is awesome ice cream right next door.

Great place to learn about a event that was very important to American history. Parking is a bit strange, very many private lots around there, keep your eyes open

Just a park but very well maintained. Interesting displays, statue and plaques to enhance the experience. A dairy store next store is a nice touch.

Great for the historic education & next to Union dairy ice cream & PHK bicycle. History, ice cream & bicycles. Not much better than that.
