Due to the pressure of keeping Lincoln looking “fresh” during the funeral route, he was embalmed many times over. Essentially experts say mummified. It’s strange to think the trademark Lincoln we all know is probably still recognizable after all these years.
HikesHistory That would be creepy but interesting at the same time.
U right more then likely he will still look the same
Surprised his body is not on display if he is mummified. Apparently we enjoy looking at Stolen mummified humans. RIP Mr. Lincoln. 😷
Fleetwood Lindlay was the last living person to view Lincoln’s face. Did so as a teenager in 1901 the last time the coffin was opened. The face was alabaster white, the eyebrows were missing but the face was most recognizable as that of Lincoln’s.
@@theRappinSpree Lincoln finally got his last resting place. I could imagine being moved so many times must've been a real headache for Lincoln. Well, at least he can't be moved anywhere else now, you know, with the coffin being encased in a cage encased in concrete. People might've thought Robert Lincoln went overkill on the last burial, but considering how many times THAT body was moved, I think a little prudence was indeed warranted.
It's very crazy knowing that when I was in there i was technically 10 feet away from such a historical figure.
Chisnek only his bones his body really is gone into the ground
I felt the same way visiting MLK sight.
@@oboyz3848 it's practically mummified
Just imagine how many Indian chiefs you walk over every day. They were the original father's of this land that we take for granted today
So fucking cool
Lincoln in heaven
"Somebody is rubbing my nose again"
I believe his nose has long decomposed
I don't know how rubbing the nose of the statue of Lincoln can be considered lucky...Lincoln owned the original nose, and it wasn't very lucky for HIM!
Rest In Peace Mr Lincoln will be well remembered
Thank you for posting this. I have always wanted to go to Lincoln's Tomb and pay my respects to that great man, but since I am now disabled and am unable to make the trip, this is the next best thing.
leland frame that is so sad god bless you

Khen Karlsson yah
I live in Springfield. I’ll go for you 😊
Sorry to hear that you are now disabled, but I agree this was probably the next best thing.
I lived in walking distance of the tomb, I walked there often each time in awe, each time impressed, each time learning something new. He was a great man and awesome president.
What I admire most about Lincoln was his battle against depression! Lincoln and Churchill both suffered from very deep bouts of depression. Both had a lot to be depressed about the American Civil War and WWII and the bombings of London! Yet they both seemed to have adjusted and went on to become men we honor and respect! Churchill said painting helped him deal with depression. Lincoln's dry sense of humor probably saved him!
Yes and Churchill saw his ghost at the White House.
Some of my ancestors are buried in this cemetery.... I love coming here, so much respect.
It was unfair that he had his life taken away from that horrendous assassination. He was a great leader who saved this country from being dissolved. He will never be forgotten and we will always have his spirit with us. RIP Abraham Lincoln
Unfortunately the demons crap want to get rid of our history and BLM want his statue removed.
Sad because the left marxist is trying really hard to divide the country using the same people who Lincoln fought to be free.
@@randymalm6003 they got their way in the end🤬
@@casperx1513 What they said was not true. They want the confederate statues remove. Its just another Far Right wing lie.
Our history should be persevered but not glorified
It is an impressive monument to an impressive man. I live not far from there and some of my family are buried not far from his grave. I wonder how different this country would have been if he had lived and had helped to guide the country through his final term in office and beyond. I think we would be living in a better world.
I know it’s a grave, but I would like to see this.
On the other hand, the Reconstruction was a very different problem, and history might've judged him differently.
@@JimC Why the radical republicans should have had their way. Then we probably would have never needed the late 50's and 60's. Or today on the voting rights, etc.
‘I think we would be living in a better world’. Clearly thinking isn’t your strong point. There’s no possible way anybody could possibly know if it would be better or worse.
@@Known-unknowns If you understood post war history of the South and how it was the polar opposite of what Lincoln envisioned or would have allowed you might understand the point. As as far as my thinking ability I have a BA with Honors and a Juris Doctors degree and am a retired attorney with 41 years of experience. What have you accomplished?
He's buried under 20 feet of concrete because of the various attempts to steal his body for ransom..
How dare they!
That’s sick
10 ft
There were attempts
21 and a quarter feet
Is a mexican living in this beautiful country and beautiful city of Chicago 😍 its my honor to say president Lincoln is my favorite president after president Ronald Reagan!! Viva.... 🇺🇸 and 🇲🇽 🙏
You are a good human being for showing your respects. Thanks for the historical showing
Thank you Sir, for your kind words!
I drove from California to New York and back for my 50th birthday. I took my time. I made sure I visited this spot because Abraham Lincoln embodies every great ideal that our country once represented. I was truly moved and humbled to stand at his grave. I hope we can find our way back to being a country that reaches for goodness and kindness and equality and greatness of spirit again. Remember friends, vote in November.
did ya go to Truman's/Eisenhower's as well? (coming from here in MN)
I have visited the site a few times in my life and each time I am in awe of what I'm looking at. The man saved the Union. They have also preserved the old town back to Lincoln's day and is also worth visiting. But don't miss the Lincoln Library in Springfield. It's wonderful, with many things to view about Lincoln.
Thanks for posting
JN
New Salem should also be on that list.
@@richardsokolis4668 my guess is that what he means, right? Because while there’s a few blocks around Lincoln’s Springfield home that has been preserved, he definitely sounds like the “old town” is New Salem.
I must add that I believe the OP is speaking of the Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library. You can go to the Lincoln Library but it’s just a...library. Great place. But you’ll sorely letdown if you go thinking there’s a lot to see about Lincoln!! 😂. The presidential museum is a handful of blocks away and it is fantastic. It was designed by Disney Imagineers. If that gives you any indication what this place is like! It’s wonderful.
the most corrupt and indebted union in history
I had a neighbor who shook hands with Lincoln when he was running for president!!
I remember standing before the headstone over 50 years ago. I was 11 years old then, and for the first time i started to realize that Lincoln was more then a name in my history book, or just the legend I heard. This was once a flesh-an-blood man. I changed my perspective of him. As I studied his life over these past decades, I saw his humanity; imperfect, flawed, suffering bouts of depression, yet rising above to save the Union, and finally officially breaking the the bonds of slavery. I wonder how the last 150 years of our history would have changed had he lived. I also realized our mortality, and how brief a time we have tho make difference for the betterment of our country.
0:52 his nose is a different color than the rest of his head because of everyone rubbing on it. Gives new meaning to the phrase " keep your nose clean."
No, it means to “have good luck”
I visited the site a couple of years ago while on business in Springfield and there is a real atmosphere of reverence around that tomb. I plan on revisiting this site again this fall. Thanks for posting.
Did you Revisit?
@@1coolman Yes I did. Every chance I get.
@@bradmiller9121 😂😂. I wasn't sure if you were going to respond
@@1coolman I gotta admit, I was surprised to see a response/question 4 years after my post, but I'm here. Business doesn't take me to Springfield anymore but if, ad when I get back there, I'll always stop by to pay my respects to the Greatest Post-founding person this country has ever seen.
@@bradmiller9121 lol, I was surprised you answered. It's good to see you got a change of scenery
Damn you Booth. You killed a great man. No telling how many more great things Lincoln could have accomplished as President.
I know Right!!!!
Karma came to bite him in the ass. He died when he was 27 which this dude does not look like he's in 20's he looks like he's in his 40s.
He’s already damned.
why was he great?
@@emailsender7139 he free slaves?
Was blessed to visit his tomb in the Summer of 1993. It was a memorable and humbling experience.
More than our greatest president - he was a sage soul who was born to lead the best in person. Rest in paradise.
I have studied and admired Abraham Lincoln all of my life. I have read over 90 books on him. I took notes the entire time and compared "facts" and then researched to find the truth.
There is this old question people like to ask friends. If you could invite five people to a meal with you......dead or alive...……….who would you invite? My answer is Lincoln five times. That's if they allow me that answer. I would give both of my legs and both of my arms to sit and have a three hour conversation with him.
The area of his death is where I like to stop because it makes me mad and sad! He was, in my opinion unquestionably the greatest American who ever lived. No, to me, he was the greatest man who ever lived. I know, people can jump up and argue about it or throw insults. Fine! I don't care. That's what he is to me and what he ALWAYS will be to me!
The last place or item associated with him I saw was his tomb. It's so sad to think about. I get mad because I know he deserved better. He gave everything for his country! Being President was not heaven on earth for him. The stress ate him from the inside out. A civil war, death, the torture of having to watch his son die a SLOW miserable death of over 50 days! Then watch another die, his mom die a slow terrible death as well as two grandparents! He watched a nation tear itself apart and fight to pull it back together! He knew his death was coming. He knew he was going to be assassinated BUT he never stopped!! He never quit working! And he was MASTERFULL and saving our country.
To visit his tomb would just be anger and sadness all over again I thought. I finally got myself to go. I went into the chamber, down the hall and stood in front of the place his body was laid to rest. As I started to cry my friend tapped me on the shoulder and said look. I turned around to see the tomb in the back wall. One for his wife. One for each son less Robert. I looked for a second and I actually smiled! I didn't get it before. But I got it then. It hit me like a ton of books. His story does not have the sad ending I have always attached to it. I saw it in a new way. Lincoln did all the things he needed to. He committed himself giving his health and life in the process. The day he died ………..wasn't sad. I think as he sat at the theatre God looked down on him and said "you have done enough! I am proud of you. It is time to ease your pain and reward you with your place in heaven where his 2 sons are waiting for him! God did not let him suffer the ills of the world anymore. Instead, he saved him right away. He eased his pain right away. As I stood there looking at Lincolns family member markers I understood that he was with his family. They were all together. He finally got to be with the 2 sons who deaths plagued him! I was looking at the marker of a man who has been in heaven since his death enjoying his family and perfect happiness. He was forced to live and suffer until he was 85 years old! He left the world early BECAUSE of what a great man he was!
Tom Thorn that was really beautiful. I agree with you 100%. Abraham Lincoln was the greatest
President AND the greatest man.
When I saw Lincoln the movie in theatres I wept like a baby. I couldn't stop. Im a black woman and to think what he did for the slaves makes my heart feel so much love. He truly sacrificed his life to unify the country and end slavery.
I have about 25 books on him. And I hope to get a lot more. He is the closest thing this country has ever had to a King. He is a martyr and he deserves to be.
RIP PRESIDENT Lincoln.
tom thorn He was only 56 when he died.
@ALL LIVES MATTER. Yes..thank you💖
@@charlottebuchanan3193 Amen..I feel the same way and I am white💖
Lincoln was only 56 when he died. Just saying
By far, one of the greatest men who ever lived, what a statesman. from your kinfolk across the pond in the United Kingdom.
I have always wanted to visit Lincoln's tomb, but after watching this, it is now on my bucket list. Thank you so much.
RIP PRESIDENT Lincoln. May God keep your eternal soul at peace. You are still loved. And missed.
You’re right about that!!!!
This is so powerful. I’m speechless. I’m in awe.
I visited a couple years ago in mid-summer on a weekday when hardly anyone was at the cemetery and no one else at the monument. I was inside and had it all to myself in the silence. Its one of those few places Ive ever been where even the air felt heavy inside the tomb. You could feel the sense of being near greatness....true greatness. Not cliche'd greatness in the arts or industry. But in humanity and reconciliation that affected the course of world history. Ill never forget it. Great visit. The library is also fantastic.
This English woman has the greatest respect for one of the greatest men who ever lived. Abraham Lincoln is without doubt the finest President of America, he bore the weight of the world on his shoulders never once faltering in his service to his beloved country. I hope one day to pay my respects in person, and just stay a little while remembering what he achieved, his wisdom and tenacity is sorely missed,
Thanks for sharing your visit its very much appreciated.
The trip to Springfield and to his tomb is so well worth the trip. If you get the chance go to Lincoln's boyhood home in Indiana, about 250 miles away. His birth mother is buried there.
Thank you for taking me to this site of President Lincoln that i could never afford to go see. Great job! God bless you.
@@benpie8 maybe he's broke or just don't want to waste money on something u can see on youtube
I was a tour guide at his tomb the summer of 1981. It is a great place to visit. I highly recommend it 👍
Wish I would have had you with us during our tour!
i am not even american but i would have fought for lincoln he was a great man .a man courage,a man of foresight and a man who was left no choice but to fight
Thank you for taking the time to show us this monument. I am so happy to have "traveled" here during the pandemic.
I learned a lot from this video.I would like to visit this beautiful monument in person.President Lincoln was perhaps the greatest American of all time.
Thank you for sharing this tour of Lincoln's Tomb. A great job, indeed! I felt like I was right there with you.
Gosh, tearing up a bit. 😥 Such beauty and such sadness there.
I would love to see this again someday. I went here when I was younger and got to see this and his house in Springfield.
loved your video tour, pres, Lincoln was a great man, rest in peace mr. pres.
Shearers Gaines ,
Wrong misinformed keep looking at Martha Stewart showing tour of the! Lincoln home while president ! He had slaves his slave cabins are on his yard ! His pretty young slave girl Sally! Hadone bboy too black Two one passed befor white he let his wife keep her ! kids by him!
Vernon Pennington bruh lincoln didn’t have a slave named sally hemming’s if that’s who you were talking about. Sally hemmings was the slave owned by thomas jefferson
Vernon Pennington also can you type clearer next time i had a stroke tryna read
Shepherd Gaines I never said Sally Hemmings that's Thomas Jefferson! Slave wife's Sister his lover and mom to his slave kids! Now Slave girls were named Sally by Abe Lincoln! You did not see me tell you a last name! Look at the Littel of Blog Hidden
Secrets of Abe Lincoln and The Lincoln Family! Covered Up for
100 years until now they Opened the Book up! The Wife and Congress had it Locked away for fear folks would learn the truth about The emancipation not Beeing real only a way to get votes by using the Black Slaves and convincing men who were slaves if they fought In the Union Army's they would charge by their and their family's freedom!But after they fought came back home who had lived They were put back into chains ! Lincoln had Wrote! They should never abolish Slavery! Because he and his father in-law! Owned the richest Slave Market ! In all the Union States ! And all the Taxes coming from the South he built their Slave Ships ! To ship Slaves arround the world! From all the African ,Haiti, and Jamakan Countrys to Portugal England ! Just look for the right one this time! Good read eye opener and mind opener!
Vernon Pennington wtf are you even talking about
A great man and a great leader, even as a Canadian I have great love for this iconic figure of history.
Wow. I've visited the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, and it is awe-inspiring. This is a great memorial, too, to what I think is our greatest President. Lincoln espoused the hopes and dreams of middle America. I grew up in Ohio and his influence was very profound even on us. My favorite Lincoln quote (there are so many) is "Tis better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt."
Concordo plenamente
É um motivo de grande honra e orgulho para povo americano, ter tido uma figura tão importante como Abraham Lincoln, Responsável por manter a união desse grande país, com grande sacrifício e determinação. Apesar de todo sofrimento sentido por todo derramamento de sangue entre compatriotas, mas que no fim, todo esse esforço se reflete no nome dessa grande nação.
I will never get to see this great mans final resting place though many times throughout my life I have wanted to go. This is the next best thing so thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful video of President Lincoln’s final resting place. I loved your closing shots that give us the perspective of the receiving vault in proximity to the Lincoln Memorial where the family rests together. Another tumultuous time in American history. R.I.P. President Lincoln 🇺🇸
Thank you for posting this video. I live in England 🏴 so I may never visit in person. It caught my eye because I have just read ‘Team of Rivals’. Rewatching the 2013 film ‘Lincoln’ benefitted, in terms of understanding, from having read that book.
Is it a widely known story that Lincoln’s body was stolen around
15-20 years after his death. The robbers broke open his vault but couldn’t get the casket out of the vault. One of the robbers turned snitch and had warned the police of their plot to kidnap Lincoln’s body. He gave the prearranged signal and during the ensuing gun battle the robbers got away. But they were arrested soon after.
His body was moved so many times during the first 20 years of his death. The first tomb was so badly built that his casket was moved into the basement of the tomb where workers stored lumber and other things. A shallow hole was dug to put Lincoln’s casket in and since you could tell something was buried there they covered the ground with used lumber and other items to hide the casket better. Lincoln was kept in the room for years until the current tomb was built.
If I remember correctly Mary Lincoln died during this time and her casket was placed next to Lincoln in this store room.
The only people that knew of this arrangement was the men on the Cemetery Committee and Robert Todd Lincoln. The committee was formed to handle the construction and maintenance of the tomb. They notified Robert every time they did something to the President and casket. It was early 1900’s before the new and better built tomb was finished and the day they moved the caskets from their old location to the new tomb the committee on their own decided to open Lincoln’s casket and looked at the great man one last time. They said he looked like he was asleep since he received so many embalming treatments on the very long train trip that he decomposed very little. However his skin color changed. I can’t recall the exact color they mentioned. This was due to the skin reacting to the many embalming doses.
To stop any chance ever again in the future of someone trying to steal his remains Lincoln is not inside of the stone sarcaughagus
(sorry-spelling???) that you walk by inside the tomb. His body and casket is 10’ below and was covered in 10’ of cement.
President Lincoln had a very restless death for about the first 35-40 years after his death.
Do you know what’s the fascination to try so hard to steal his body?
His face was covered with red and blue dots, a mystery until someone recalled that a US flag was placed over his body, it had rotted away leaving only small dots of red and blue cloth.
The thieves were from a ring of counterfeiters whose fellow was caught counterfeiting nickels. They intended to hold Lincoln's body for ransom. The ransom being the release of their friend. This is when the Secret Service added presidential security to their original treasury duties.
20' not 10'
@@douglewis5701 I believe it’s 10 down and 10 back- my husband surveyed the tomb when they did an overhaul some years ago.
He was originally buried behind that monument. if you had gone a little farther down the park past this monument you would have seen the original burial site/tomb in the hillside. i hope you were able to see all the other various sites in Springfield, Lincoln related!! Its a great place to visit!!!
and we are still sad.
it is so disappointing and so surprising to me to see so many people just walk around and not just STOP and really read and look at the schuphers, but just walk though it all, like it is just another park, and learn NOTHING of such a great man. I Live in Upper NOrtheast Illinois and wish I could make the drive down to see all this and get photographs of all this, knowing that Gov. Oglesby, whom did a lot of the planning of his ole friend after death, and took care of a lot of the burial, is related to my husband, so to have the history in our family and that connection to President Lincoln, even though he may NOT be a ancestor, but to have him touch the lives of some of our ancestors whom back at that time, Knew him.
In high school we ran a Cross country meet every year in the park immediately being this tomb. It was an annual tradition to visit and pay our respects.
I’m from Tunisia . I wish one day I could visit this lovely site. I have a special respect to Abraham Lincoln, this great man who sacrificed his life to make America one nation.
Thank you very much for posting this.
Progressive, humane, insightful, brave. Truly a great human being.
Not to "fact check" but Lincoln was not a progressive at all. I agree he was a great man of his time.
@@RalphdUp74 He was a moderate Whig though in the term in the House. Which was the more "progressive" party. Til slavery split them.
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful, fascinating video! 😄
Lincoln is my hero! Self taught lawyer, cat lover, great human being.
The Greatest President of all time, period!!!!!
Great video. My Dad was from Springfield, IL and Abraham Lincoln was his favorite President.
We need another President like Abraham Lincoln...RIP in Peace...You were "A Man who belongs to the Ages"
Thanks for sharing this awesome video.
It’s a great video!!!!
When I watched the footage of Mr Rogers crypt I had chills for a minute and sensed his angelic spirit..this LOVE. Now watching this footage, Im overcome not only by the beauty of Pres Lincoln's final resting place..but those statues look like they come to life at night 😅 but anyways the energy I feel from this place/his energy is this: HONOR, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY. What an amazing historic humble important determined upright man!
God bless you, Mr Lincoln 💛
I went there it was amazing and emotional I love Abraham Lincoln. It was so beautiful on the inside and I can't wait to go back
Good video I've lived in Springfield my whole life been in that tomb many times. One fact that most people don't know is that Oak Ridge Cemetery is the 2nd most visited cemetery in the country after Arlington. Theirs obviously more Lincoln stuff to see and some non-Lincoln stuff here always glad for visitors to our city. Welcome.
I am so thankful to you for taking such a nice video. There is a certain solemnity about it that is appropriate and very touching. I have to admit that my eyes welled up when you finally reached the President’s head stone. This was the first time I’ve seen it after years of studying the life of this great man. Thank you again.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for posting. I never knew of that tomb. I've been to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, but not here in Illinois.
Very cool i have never seen this before, thank you for sharing👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks very much for posting this. I'll probably never see it myself. RIP Mr. Lincoln.
That has to be the most incredible beautiful tomb I have ever seen
I use to ride by this town in my semi. I kept saying I was gonna stop to see the memorial. Never did. And I'm a lover of US history. I'm sad.
Absolutely fascinating. Very emotional. Long live all patriots that stand for freedom in this great nation.
The more I read about Lincoln the more I start to like, to love him. (a Dutch historian, who just read the Team of Rivals study)
What a fitting place for this great man and his family. Sad that his eldest son was denied a place by his family's side. Thank you for pausing at all the notices, giving us a chance to read, as if we were there...God Bless America x
helen Tur 😡 While your (imaginary) deity is busy ‘blessing America’ and doing a poor job of it, the rest of Not America has to manage as best it can? Really?
Sir Meow The Library Cat Shut the hell up.
Sir Meow is a devil worshipper.
Great content and beautifully presented
Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!
His tomb/casket was opened during its last move to the current tomb and several people were allowed to view the body and one of those people was a 13 year old son of one of the persons there... this man, Fleetwood Lindley died 31 Jan 1963 but was interviewed three weeks prior to his death. He said, "Yes, his face was chalky white. His clothes were mildewed. And I was allowed to hold one of the leather straps as we lowered the casket for the concrete to be poured. I was not scared at the time but I slept with Lincoln for the next six months." Mr. Lindley was 75 when he died and 13 when he had viewed the body. He had been the only child to do so. Mr. Lindley was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery not far from Lincoln's Tomb.
Thank you...I’ve never been to this beautiful place. I enjoyed the video so much!
Missed now more than ever...
The masonry is amazing!
Love the video and the memorial
Thank you Monica, appreciate your kind words!
Thank you for the video
Nice job. Thank you!
Thank you for the very well-made video. It was better than it would’ve been had I personally visited. Thank you.
Last summer of 1990, I walked inside the Lincoln Tomb with some fresh red roses🌹🌹🌹 and put them on the top of huge burial marble stone. God bless Abe Lincoln. Mark Weber
I live in Springfield Illinois and I love Lincoln's tomb
It's amazing the details of the monuments such art and beauty for a great man
I enjoyed your tour of the Lincoln tomb very much.
Thanks for the awesome tour....
Enjoyed your footage LIKED and SUBSCRIBED .. I'll check out more of your videos.
His first resting place as down the hill. Not the back side of the structure. When you walk down the hill you will see the spot and there is a sign stating that was his first resting place.
Untill men tried to steal him for ransom. .I read he was still intact & recognized as Lincoln when they put him in his new tomb.
Crazy.. just as the guy filming said it was a beautiful setting.. I said the very moment how beautiful
. Crazy
Kind of spooky eh? :)
Enjoyed! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this video. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for posting this tour. Such a beautiful place. I have watched the documentary about stealing Lincoln's body and it was very interesting to know the journey he had before finally being entombed where he is now. They showed scenes of this place in the show, but not so much in detail as you have showed us in this video. Even just watching you are struck with awe and reverence being in the final resting place of a great American and his family. Thanks again for sharing
Thanks for your kind words Jerry. Had I of known that this video would garner as many views as it has, I would have been much more attentive to detail (sound/video quality). I originally shot it for my personal travel archives and not a wide audience. I may one day revisit his tomb and do a better job. Thanks again :)
@@FinkworldTravels Still tho, great job. I have never visited this place yet and it felt like I was there and its going to prepare me for the traditions for when I do go visit. Like rubbing abes nose on the bust out front and rubbing his foot and horses nose on the statues inside. Very cool to see how the bronze is worn on those spots from the millions of people rubbing them for luck.
Great lighting at the end.
Very interesting. Thank you
1 like 1 respect for this great man who fought for the war and protected us nk matter what RIP we all salute to you.
Happy Birthday President Abraham Lincoln! February 12, 1809-April 14, 1865
He was my favorite president. I did a school report on him. Rest in peace president Lincoln
I havent been there in years .
I remember when I was in the scouts from cub scouts to eagle scout there was always a parade to monument every year that I was in.
Awesome video
I remember the 1st time I saw that
guessing I was in the 6th or 7th grade
on a yellow school bus kids were
so excited to travel from C.dale, IL
Springfield, IL take a guess where
I reside live for almost 45 47yrs
Springfield, IL
I live in Springfield. Nice job spotlighting President Lincoln’s final resting place.
I think he was the greatest president ever. He changed the world.
@Dan Chapowski Because he was behind getting rid of slavery.
This place has always been kool through my life. Growing up a few blocks away. I know not nice but was awesome back in the 60s&70s when I was a teen. Great place to party at night. Hey I was a teenager.partied in his house at night when a friend was night watchman.
