Abraham Lincoln Totem Pole in Springfield, Illinois

Replica of the 51 foot tall Proud Raven commemorative pole erected in the mid 1880s in a Tlingit Indian village on Tongass Island, Alaska.

Hurst and Jay Monaghah was presented to the Illinois State Museum by the Mid-Day Luncheon Club of Springfield in 1945. The fiberglass replica erected at the entrance to the Museum in 1966 is an exact copy of the original pole. The figure at the top was carved after a photograph of Abraham Lincoln. The figures at the base of the pole are a bear’s head and the winged figure of the Proud Raven and his son
