The Lincoln Sculpture Garden is along the Connecticut River in Hartford and East Hartford. It is a mixture of 16 abstract and conventional sculptures with beautiful views of the river. Stops 1-9 are located in Hartford. Stops 10 and 11 are located over the river and stops 12-16 are in East Hartford.
For stops 1-6, 10 and 11 I parked on Columbus Avenue near Mortensen Plaza at 41.7669068, -72.6694294. Stops 10 and 11 are on the Founders Bridge walkway that crosses the river.
