In April 1865, a group of Illinois residents formed the National Lincoln Monument Association to plan Lincoln's burial in Springfield. At Mrs. Lincoln's request, suburban Oak Ridge Cemetery was selected as the site of the tomb. Larkin G. Mead, a Vermont sculptor, won an 1868 design competition sponsored by the association, and work on the tomb began the following year. Lincoln's remains were placed in the tomb in September 1871, and the tomb was dedicated in October 1874, upon the completion of Mead's bronze statue of Lincoln. Between 1877 and 1883, four bronze military groups representing the infantry, artillery, cavalry, and navy were added to the base. In 1895, the National Lincoln Monument Association donated the tomb to the State of Illinois. (Image1)
