Resting in a concrete vault 10 feet below the marble floor of the burial chamber, President Abraham Lincoln’s remains are visited by many people every day in the Lincoln Tomb. Almost all of Lincoln’s immediate family is buried in the same tomb complex, including his wife Mary Todd Lincoln and three of the four sons they had together. Lincoln’s other son, his eldest, was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. The Lincoln Tomb has been a National Historic Landmark since 1960, and has held a place on the National Register of Historic Places since very shortly after, in 1966. Renowned sculptor Larkin Mead designed the tomb and used local brick covered in Quincy granite for its construction.
