PEORIA, Ill. – It’s up.
The new Abraham Lincoln mural is up at the spot the old mural resided…outside the Peoria County Courthouse.
The county says work was completed Wednesday on “Abraham Blue 2023.”
It’s 50 feet tall and 33 feet wide. Artist Doug Leunig of Big Picture Peoria has said the new one will also feature a QR code that, when scanned by your smartphone, will feature Lincoln speeches.
That feature isn’t ready yet, but the county says it will be November 13th – the day a dedication ceremony will be held at the Peoria Riverfront Museum.
