Abraham Lincoln spoke at this court house on September 17, 1859. He stopped here
between speeches in Columbus and Cincinnati at the invitation of his friend, Dayton
lawyer Robert C. Schenck. They had met while both were members of Congress.
These Ohio speeches introduced Lincoln as a serious political figure outside of
Illinois. This led to an invitation to speak at the Cooper Union in New York City, which
made him known to the rest of the Republican Party and transformed him from a
regional politician to a national leader. At the Republican Convention in May 1860,
with Ohio's help Lincoln was nominated, and that Fall he won the election.
His presidency preserved the Union and ended slavery.
This statue is a gift from the Lincoln Society of Dayton - September 17, 2016
