The Lincoln Memorial Tablets in Springfield, Illinois, mark the city where Abraham Lincoln lived and practiced law for about 25 years before he was elected president. Lincoln was buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield after his assassination in 1865, and his remains were moved into the completed tomb in 1874, which drew large crowds. The tablets record the memorial life that grew up around the site, and they show how quickly Springfield became a place of pilgrimage for Americans who wanted to honor him.
