1934 Lincoln Tower Tomb Springfield Illinois

This 1934 linen postcard features the solemn and majestic Lincoln Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield, Illinois—a revered site that serves as the final resting place of Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary Todd, and three of their sons. Towering above the treetops, the granite obelisk rises from a carefully designed base adorned with bronze statues symbolizing Lincoln’s leadership and legacy. Completed in 1874 and later renovated, the tomb is not only a funerary monument but also a national symbol of remembrance, drawing visitors from across the country to pay tribute to the 16th president.

The postcard, rendered in rich colors and framed by a soft white border, captures the quiet dignity of the site as it appeared in the early 1930s. This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
