Lincoln's Tomb

We spent our first and second tour days in Springfield, IL. Our first stop was Lincoln's grave. The cemetery was beautiful.





The tomb itself is quite impressive.





There is a tradition of touching the nose on this bust of Lincoln. Over time it has been worn to a shine. Later when we went to the Lincoln museum, there was a picture of this same bust on a painted wall map. So many people had rubbed that nose that the paint was gone on it too! People are funny.

This grille was on a door at the back of the memorial tomb.
