Illinois Adventure #1703 Lincoln's Tomb
Dedicated in 1874, Lincoln Tomb is the final resting place of Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary, and three of their four sons, Edward, William, and Thomas. Also on the site is the public receiving vault, constructed ca. 1860, the scene of funeral services for Abraham Lincoln on May 4, 1865. In 1960 the Tomb was designated a National Historic Landmark and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
The 117-foot Tomb, designed by sculptor Larkin Mead, is constructed of brick sheathed with Quincy granite. The base is 72-foot square with large semi-circular projections on the north and south sides. Double sets of north and south stairs lead to a terrace, above which rises the obelisk. At the corners of the shaft, large pedestals serve as bases for four bronze sculptures, each with a group of figures representing one of the four Civil War services—infantry, artillery, cavalry, and navy. A taller base on the obelisk's south side holds a heroic bronze statue of Lincoln. At the Tomb entrance is a bronze reproduction of Gutzon Borglum's marble head of Lincoln, located in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

tour of Abraham Lincoln tomb in Springfield, Illinois
This is a tour of the Abraham Lincoln tomb in Springfield, Illinois. Very impressive and moving. If you're in Springfield or near, it's worth a visit in my opinion. The date is October 20, 2016. I am at this moment reading a book about Abraham Lincoln and one of the many things that strikes me is how Lincoln mended fences with rivals and didn't hold grudges and how striking the contrast between him and Trump is in this regard (among many others).
