Gettysburg visitors who check out the link below will recognize the figure shown, which has now appeared -- with Abraham Lincoln -- in front of the Miami County Courthouse in Troy, Ohio. The "Modern Man" is Lincoln's companion in the Seward Johnson sculpture "Return Visit," which occupies a prominent spot on Lincoln Square in front of the David Wills House, where Lincoln stayed overnight on November 18, 1863, before giving his famous address at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Many visitors to Gettysburg enjoy having their photo taken with Lincoln and his modern friend. Visitors to Troy won't have quite the same photo opportunity, since Miami County's version of the statue is considerably larger-than-life, standing 25-feet tall. It was installed in Troy this week.
