Just because Wadlow has been gone since 1940 does not mean he has been forgotten, least of all in his hometown of Alton, Illinois. The city’s College Avenue, right across from the Alton Museum of History and Art, now bears a life-size statue of the giant, erected in 1986.

Several other life-size models of the man have been placed in other museums the world over. In 2005, Wadlow was also immortalized in song. Singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens dedicated a song, called The Tallest Man, the Broadest Shoulders, to Wadlow in 2005.
