Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Soon after entering the Soldiers National Cemetery, you will see a memorial to
Abraham Lincoln and the speech he gave nearby, known today as the Gettysburg
Address. Dedicated on January 22, 1912, the low, semi-circular expanse of

who designed the cemetery in 1863, allowed space for a memorial like this
at one end.
