Young Lincoln

Young Lincoln, Delaware Park

Young Lincoln, cast in bronze in 1935 by Bryant Baker, sits book in hand in Delaware Park. Just off the street of Lincoln Parkway, this wonderful sculpture, capturing the spirit of the young man who would be president, compels passers by to stop and regard. This impressive piece is one of three presidential works by Baker to call Buffalo home. The two others, created in the 1930's, pay tribute to Buffalo native sons and Presidents Grover Cleveland and Millard Fillmore, and flank the entrance to Buffalo City Hall.
