    I think cemeteries that allow recreational activities are much more vibrant and ultimately better kept up. Beautiful spot Steve 👌

    I lived in Springfield over 30 years and worked just a block away from Lincoln’s Home. I would walk the site almost every day and be amazed at the visitors from all over the world. I have really enjoyed your series on the presidential sites. Thank you for all you do.

      It's funny, I lived in the Champaign area until I was 30 and never went to Lincoln's grave. I've been to his home but really think when I go back home I'll check out the Lincoln tomb

    One hour from my home. His nose has been that way for over 50 years. The Lincoln library and museum is amazing.

    I live 45 minutes away from Springfield and worked in Springfield for 7 years. I went to many field trips to visit the Lincoln sites while in elementary school. I couldn’t wait for you to show Lincoln’s resting place. I don’t know if you had a chance to visit the museum, but it is a great place to visit. I live in Decatur and we have an original courthouse Lincoln practiced in and other Lincoln noteables.
    I had told you before that I walk my dog in a local cemetery daily, so it is nice that you were able to visit and see that in our area it is common place for activities. Thank you for the vlog.

    Well steve, you just completed my tour of Lincoln's life. I've been to Ford's theater and all of the other points of interest but I have never been to Springfield. Thanks to you I now have enjoyed something that I have always wanted to do. And may I say, you did a great job! Thanks again and have a great day

    I think it is a great idea to allow people to walk & exercise there - helps with security & also provides some historical education too about our Presidents! 😊👍

    It's nice to see how reverent the people are that are visiting. They stood quietly and I noticed one man had removed his cap. Today, not many people do that. This was a very interesting video. Thank you, Steve.

    Our family visited there back in 1956 when I was pretty young. I remember the outside of the tomb but not the inside so I was really happy to see that you videoed it. We did get to go into the house and I don't remember much of that either but I do remember the living room seemed small even to a young kid and had a rocking horse in it and that in the kitchen they had a loaf of bread that was hard as a rock (we kids thought it had been there since Lincoln had lived there, ha, ha) Thanks for the tour, Steve, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

  • @judithmitchell4667

    This was such a special video and so very much appreciated Steve. I live next to a small cemetery and it feels good to see it also used for walks or biking, etc...Back in the day they were meant to also be parks and people would actually come and pay their respects and then stay and have a picnic. As long as the cemetery is treated with respect, I think this is a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing this Steve and have a wonderful weekend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤

    Steve you do just such a great job on these grave visits especially the very famous ones. I don't know if you learned this but while watching another video on Lincoln and his final resting place. It was documented that he has been moved 17 times since his first internment. He was moved so much that in the early 20 century (1901) his coffin was opened for a small group to make sure literally that his remains were still there. They in fact were and it was said remarkably were preserved.

  • @JL-lg8tk
    @JL-lg8tk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Another great video, Steve. My partner was from Springfield and when he'd go home to visit family I'd go with him and always visit all the Lincoln sites. We'd usually stay a week with his brother and sister in law and that was plenty of time for leisure visits to the sites without being rushed.

  • @mattperiolat
    @mattperiolat 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    You’d be VERY hard pressed to find a city that celebrates a former son the way Springfield does with Lincoln. It cannot be understated how much is there. Besides the tomb and home, a presidential museum for Lincoln, plus the train station he departed from and from where his body was returned to is there, plus the law offices and the former stat capital building. Safe to say, if you have about a week and time to burn, driving from Kentucky west to Illinois, you can hit all the sites and get a good scope of the story.
    Oh, and if you are interested in the macabre, the story behind the attempt to steal Lincoln’s body and it’s subsequent movements and final burial is a yarn worth spinning too.

  • @Corgis175
    @Corgis175 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I think all cemeteries should allow people to walk their dogs on the paved area, not the grave area and make sure they have poop bags and trash containers (which most have at the edges of grave areas for people to discard flowers, etc. I know I never will get to see Lincoln's grave so definitely appreciate this vlog.

    Took the tour about a month ago. Got tickets and had lunch around the corner while we waited. Definitely worth the wait, there are a lot of original artifacts in the house including the wood burning stove in the kitchen and Mary's own private bedpan in her part of the master lol.

    Great job Steve, His son was there when they transferred his body to the present place. They opened the casket to make sure that it was him. He was embalmed so much that he was well preserved! I also shared this vlog on one of my groups on Facebook, Famous Graves, & Historical Sites, & Theme Parks. Just today I received my, "I'd rather be Grave Hunting" hat from your sight! I love it. My wife just shook her head! LOL!!

    My favorite President. I've been waiting for this one. It brings tears to my eyes. After reading so many books about him, this brings it to reality. Somehow it seems surreal just to watch, so I can't imagine what it is like being there.

    This was the closest I'll ever get to Lincoln's tomb. Thank you so much for giving myself and others a front row seat. I do think it's awesome that cemeteries in different locations allow walking and bike riding. Beats doing both on fast main roads and breathing emissions. P.S. I'm waving back!

      Also the graves of his sister and mother. A personal note my great great great great grandfather was a friend of the Lincolns in Southern Indiana. He was the county judge who young Abraham would go and sit in his courtroom and watch the trials. It's where Lincoln learned the law in Boonville, Indiana. Judge Zacharias Skelton.

    I grew up 60 miles from there and we went there a lot. To see the house it’s best to go early morning weekday. That is not his only home though. Not far from there is the restored town of new Salem. He had a home and business there. The entire town has been restored to what it was when he was there. It is an experience.

    I grew up in a suburbs of Chicago and took many trips to Springfield as a child. I never appreciated the beauty of Lincoln’s tomb and home until taking my own family there and touring the cemetery there to see actual Civil War graves that you realize what President Lincoln did for our country, and how many families sacrificed loved ones in that war. Also his home is so small. Seeing how they lived in that time without luxury and impressing that upon my children was something I’ll never forget.

    As a exchange student in 1974 in Minnesota, I was very happy that my host family, the Bendorfs, took me on this trip to Illinois because they knew I was crazy about Lincoln's life. In Springfield I was very fortunate to visit Lincoln's Law Office, his tomb, his Home as well as New Salem Historic Site. I enjoyed that trip very much and I thank my parents very much for that. I am from Brazil.
    Congratulations and thanks for this video.

    live in springfield!! Oak Ridge is a lovely cemetery...always people about. it's put about that Lincoln is buried under the grave marker....in fact, he's in back of it. Springfield claims Lincoln for our own. BTW, the boys room was at the back, by the back porch. I bet they went out the window many times, and GONE to play!!!

    In 2008, a young 11 year old Joe would visit his first ever Presidential grave site, that would be the grave of Abraham Lincoln. I’ve been to Lincoln’s Tomb about 8 times now, and it’s my favorite presidential grave site, no question. It’s what started it all, he’s my favorite president, and it’s the only presidential grave site in my home state. I was even able to visit the tomb on the 150th anniversary of his death, on April 15, 2015. Awesome video as always, Steve!
