===Lincoln statues=== [[File:Lincoln Highway Statue.jpg|thumb|right|upright|''The Great Emancipator'' on display in Detroit, Michigan]] To bring attention to the highway, Fisher commissioned statues of Abraham Lincoln, titled ''The Great Emancipator'', to be placed in key locations along the route of the highway. One of the statues was given to Joy in 1914.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.detroit1701.org/Lincoln%20Statue.html |title=Statue of Abraham Lincoln |work= Detroit: The History and Future of the Motor City |date=October 1, 2006 |access-date= July 13, 2012}}</ref> Joy's statue was later presented to the [[Detroit Area Council]] of the [[Boy Scouts of America]].
