Street of Presidents
Benjamin Franklin has been added to the street of Presidents. His statue, just down the street from Thomas Jefferson and the other greats, is located in front of the Neenah Library, which is fitting since Benjamin Franklin was instrumental in starting the first lending library in the United States. Businessman John Bergstrom donated this statue.

Wisconsin Avenue, which runs through downtown Neenah is the home of four U.S. President statues. Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, and George Washington are sitting on benches with room to sit down next to them. Ronald Reagan's statue is standing up on the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and S. Commercial Street.
Each sitting President has a plaque. The one for Abe Lincoln lists all of his failures before becoming president and urges visitors to persevere.
In the winter the statues don hats and scarves.
