Unexpectedly, Lincoln's tomb is not at his Library and Musuem, as it is with Eisenhower and Truman. Lincoln is buried in the nearby cemetery along with all of his family except for one son (that son is at Arlington). The tomb is appropriately grand and fabulous, with a little hallway you walk through that contains small bronze statues of different points in his life and different clips of speeches. There are many unusual tombs nearby, so we spent a little time looking at them as well before finishing a loop through town and then going to Head West subs before heading East towards Chicago.
