Oak Ridge Cemetery, Public cemetery in Springfield, United States.

Oak Ridge Cemetery is a public burial ground in Springfield, Illinois, that spreads across gentle hills along Spring Creek. The grounds hold graves from different eras, including several tall monuments and mausoleums scattered among lawns and mature trees.

The burial ground opened in 1860 to provide the growing city with a modern cemetery following the rural cemetery design movement. President Lincoln's interment in 1865 and the subsequent construction of his tomb brought national attention to the site.

The name comes from the oak trees covering the ridge above low-lying Spring Creek, a landscape unusual in central Illinois. The cemetery is the second most visited in the United States after Arlington National Cemetery, drawn by Lincoln's tomb. Nine flags stand in a semicircle around the memorial, seven for the states where Lincoln and his ancestors lived, plus the US and presidential flags.

Visitors will find maps at the entrance and at several points throughout the grounds to help navigate between different sections. The pathways are mostly paved or graded, allowing travel on foot or by car through the site.

The Lincoln tomb sits on a hill at the end of a straight drive and can be seen from a distance, while many other historic graves rest in quieter areas away from the main routes. The cemetery also holds the burial sites of several Illinois governors and other political figures from the 19th century.
