The Funeral Path of President Lincoln
This map depicts the funeral procession for President Abraham Lincoln from Washington D.C. to his hometown in Springfield, Illinois, where he was finally laid to rest. The funeral procession followed the same path that Lincoln took during his inaugural tour in 1861. The Lincoln funeral procession arrived in Cleveland on Friday, April 28, 1865 at 7:00am. After more than 150,000 Clevelanders had paid their respects to the deceased president in Public Square, Lincoln was escorted to Union Depot. The procession left Cleveland that night for Columbus, Ohio via the Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinnati railroad which was centered in Union Depot.
