World's Largest Railsplitter Covered Wagon

"If you find yourself in Lincoln, Illinois, do not pass up the chance to see two of the quirkiest and most charming tributes to Honest Abe you’ll ever find: the World’s Largest Railsplitter and the World’s Largest Covered Wagon. The Railsplitter is massive — a towering Abraham Lincoln with axe in hand, reminding you why he earned the nickname in the first place. It’s part history lesson, part roadside spectacle, and it really does make you feel small standing beside him. And just down the road? The World’s Largest Covered Wagon, complete with a statue of Lincoln himself perched in the driver’s seat, looking like he’s ready to roll west. It’s whimsical, a little bizarre, and completely delightful — exactly the kind of thing that makes Route 66 so memorable. Both attractions are free, easy to find, and perfect for photos. They’re also a reminder that Lincoln, Illinois takes its namesake seriously, but not without a sense of humor. Between the rail-splitting Abe and wagon-driving Abe, you’ll leave with a smile (and probably a few great Instagram shots). Five stars for big history, bigger statues, and the biggest dose of roadside Americana you can find in central Illinois."

"We stopped by to take a little break from the road trip from St. Louis back to northern Illinois. Only a few minutes off the highway, it was a pretty cool and fun pit stop. Some light rain so we didn’t stay too long but either way, we had a pretty good stop in Lincoln, IL on Sunday, July 13, 2025. (Written 7-23-25)"

"Fun photo opportunity if you’re in the area or doing a rt. 66 trip like my wife and I were."

"This was actually pretty darn cool, definitely worth seeing if you're in the area."

"Very nice place to visit was going to Michigan and stop by took pictures"
