The replica statue measures 10 1\/2 feet tall by 9 feet wide and is  carved from recyclable material.

It hosted the 1860 Republican convention where Lincoln became  the surprise nominee for president.   It also hosted one of his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org\/pages\/3308.html\">funerals<\/a>, on May 1, 1865.  <\/p>\n<p>So if you find yourself at Terminal 2 of <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\">O&#8217;Hare<\/span> Airport, be sure to stop and take a look at Abe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago&#8217;s O&#8217;Hare International Airport is getting in on the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial celebrations.
