Right past the main gate of the Illinois State Fairgrounds is a 30 foot, clean-shaven, young and skinny Abraham Lincoln statue. I had to do a double take because it looked like he was wearing sunglasses. It is just some dark eyes and really thick eye brows! The statue is known as "The Rail Splitter" and was made in 1967. You'll find the main gate to the fairgrounds on Sangamon Avenue in Springfield, IL
