Just days ahead of the nation's 250th birthday, Florida has expanded its historical monument series with a new statue of President Abraham Lincoln.
@BryanDGriffin: “Florida is rightly honoring great Americans with our statue series, and Lincoln stands among them."

Calvin Coolidge is the only U.S. President to share a birthday with our nation. Born in 1872, he served from 1923 to 1929 and delivered one of his final public addresses at the dedication of Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales. Earlier this year, @GovRonDeSantis and Secretary of State @CordByrd unveiled a statue there in his honor. As Secretary Byrd said, “As Florida leads the America 250 celebration, this statue honors President Coolidge’s faith in the strong character of the American people and the natural beauty that continues to inspire our state.” Watch the ceremony: https://t.co/GMiXHvLQhl
Happy 250th anniversary to the United States of America, the beautiful country we call home. This Independence Day, we celebrate the bold declaration our Founding Fathers made two and a half centuries ago, the countless sacrifices made to preserve and defend our freedoms, and the years of innovation and development that brought us to where we are today.
FDOT is proud to commemorate this important milestone as we reflect on the many ways transportation has contributed to the story of our nation. From connecting communities to powering our economy, transportation has carried our country from the very start and continues to fuel its future.
Next up in Florida’s statue series: Abraham Lincoln, unveiled today in The Villages.
Lincoln’s call to embrace the “better angels of our nature” is a timeless aspiration.
Proud of Florida for reversing the trend—putting statues up, not tearing them down—and going all-in on America 250.
Thank you for the invite, @GovRonDeSantis@CordByrd
Happy Father’s Day to all fathers and father figures.
Almost 250 years ago, America’s Founding Fathers, “brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” Since 2025, the @America250FL initiative has put up statues of our Founding Fathers to honor their role in the building of our Republic.
