context_page_description: Lincoln Memorial at Waterfront Park is a statue of Abraham Lincoln, depicted as he would have looked before he became President of the United States. The sculpture of him is bareheaded, seated on a rock with an open law book in one hand and the other in an outstretched, welcoming gesture. The statue is located at Waterfront Park in Louisville, Kentucky. The Lincoln Memorial in Louisville is part of the Lincoln Heritage Trail. The statue and its accompanying bas-relief historical panels were created by American sculptor Ed Hamilton. Landscape design for Waterfront Park was by Hargreaves Associates. The 2006 Kentucky General Assembly authorized $2 million for the memorial, which was supplemented by private donations.

  Landscaping of the Louisville Waterfront Park included planting of trees which Lincoln favored. The dedication of the park was celebrated June 3, 2009 with a public sunset event featuring a 50-piece orchestra performing works by American composer Aaron Copland and Louisville native William Mapother narrating Copland's Lincoln Portrait.
