The old Lincoln Tomb

The 117-foot tall granite tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery contains the bodies of Lincoln, his wife Mary, and three of his four sons.

Visitors often stop to rub the nose of this evocative bronze bust at the entrance to the Lincoln Tomb. It's the work of Gutzon Borglum, who is most famous for his rendition of Lincoln at Mount Rushmore. You can see the original marble bust in the the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
