The receiving vault at Oak Ridge Cemetery is where Lincoln's body was placed upon its arrival at the cemetery in Springfield on 4 May, until 21 December 1865, when it was moved into a temporary tomb halfway up the hill upon which his final resting place and permanent tomb would be constructed. Oak Ridge is what Mary Todd Lincoln determined best fit her husband's wish for "some quiet place" to rest once he had passed away.
