Oak Ridge Cemetery

Overview

Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois, is famous as the final resting place of President Abraham Lincoln, his wife and all but one of his children. Lincoln’s Tomb, Oak Ridge, the third and now the only public cemetery in Springfield, is the second-most-visited cemetery in the United States, after Arlington National Cemetery. William Saunders designed the cemetery in the Rural Cemetery Landscape Lawn Style. The location was selected, in part, because of the rolling hills.
