Augustus Saint-Gaudens was a great admirer of Lincoln and created two monuments to the fallen president. A special exhibit and tour at the park features these two sculptures. A new, free
booklet details the history and development of the monuments, as well as other connections between Saint-Gaudens and Lincoln.
