Good Luck Rub

Several statues of Lincoln in various locations have become noted for bringing luck to those who rub the nose of the figure. This becomes quite obvious over time, as the rubbed areas shine as the rest of the statue ages gracefully.

Outside the Presidential Tomb in Springfield is the statue that I believe began the tradition. First I rubbed, then I snapped the photo. Perhaps if you rub your monitor right on the nose, the Lincoln power will be strong enough to come through the Internet.

Good Luck! We look inside the resting place in the next post.
