A monument that was built to honor Abraham Lincoln is the Lincoln Memorial, located in Washington DC. The monument, and Lincoln himself, are depicted on the penny and the five-dollar bill. Another monument dedicated to the president is the Lincoln Highway, the first highway for cars that was transcontinental. There is also the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National History Park located in Hodgenville, Kentucky. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is located in Springfield, Illinois. Lincoln's New Salem, located in Menard County, Illinois, is a historical recreation of the village where Lincoln resided in the 1830s. There is also the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, also in Springfield, that memorializes and preserves the home where he lived from 1844-61. The Lincoln Tomb is the burial place of Lincoln, Marry Todd, and three of their sons. It is located in Oak Ridge Cemetery, also in Springfield. Lincoln's head is also one of the four sculptures that make up Mount Rushmore.
The first public monument to Abraham Lincoln was a statue erected in front of the District of Columbia City Hall in 1868, three years after his assassination.
The best-known is the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington DC. It was built between 1914 and 1922 and features an immense marble statue of Lincoln. Along with three other Presidents, Lincoln appears on the Mount Rushmore memorial.
