    When President Lincoln was shot on April 14, 1865, he was wearing a black overcoat made especially for his second inaugural by Brooks Brothers.
    The coat is cared for by the National Park Service and periodically displayed in the Ford's Theater museum lobby.
    American History TV documented the process of removing a replica coat and placing the original coat on display for the public and learned how the artifact is preserved for future generations.

    Seems everyone was disappointed Lincoln’s coat wasn’t shown like they gave the impression it was to be. Back in the late 60s I visited Fords theater and we were allowed to see the chair he was shot in. There were blood stains on the back. We also saw the peek hole Booth cut into the door. We went across the street to the boarding house that they took him to and saw the bed he died in along with the blood stained pillow he died on. Oh, the original flag Booth got stuck on was still there. People can’t do that anymore - everything is blocked off or put in museums. I also saw the coat he was shot in with the blood stains which is the coat we didn’t get to see here. I feel privileged for what I was able to see.

      The actual bed that he was on has long since been removed from the home. In tg2e 90's, there were still original artifacts in the downstairs museum at Ford's, including the weapon that the punk coward Booth used to shoot the man from behind. Abe would've kicked his ass in a fight.

    I was there in 1962 before it actually was restored. I don't think the original theatre had a glass front and a covered area like this. But we did see the door where Booth carved out a hole so he could watch President Lincoln. We went across the street to "The House Where Lincoln Died" and we saw the bed and the pillow encased in a glass case and the pillow had blood all over it.

    The Lincoln Shrine in Redlands, California, is the best collection of Lincoln/Civil War artifacts I personally have ever seen. When I was in the old building 25 years ago, they had Top Hats, Cloaks, and Canes, that Lincoln had used. They had on display several hairs, from locks, cut by Mary Todd after his death. There was a Bible that belonged to Stonewall Jackson, that had notes written in the corner of the pages, in Jackson’s handwriting.
    The collection was made by a wealthy, turn-of-the century Redlands real estate investor, Robert Watchorn. Watchorn was an immigrant from Britain who greatly admired Lincoln. The museum room was filled with authentic Civil War battle field relics, Rifles, Mini-balls, Bayonets, Watchorn had collected in the early 1900’s.
    I was told at that time, the Museum only displayed about a third of what Watchorn had collected. The rest of the collection was stored in a warehouse.
    A new, larger, museum has been built and I intend to visit it this fall.

      'Father' Abraham Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself can not stand" (Matthew 12:25) and "4 score and 7 years ago, our fathers" which was a reference to Abraham in Genasis 16:16 who was "4 score and 6 years old" when the "slave girl Hagar gave birth to Ishmael" (Is he male?). The 16th president and 'p16resident' at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was shot on Good Friday at John Ford's Theater which was originally a Baptist church. Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth with his wife Mary at his side, but he didn't die on Good Friday. He died the following morning across the street at the Petersen House. The previous Sunday - April 9th - was Palm Sunday and the date of Robert E. Lee's surrender just 7 days after surrendering Petersburg. April 9, 30 AD was the original Easter Sunday.
      On Easter morning 1865, the whole United States - North and South - was learning of the President's death. Some pastors that fateful Sunday mourning where making the connections in their sermons between Jesus and Lincoln. The following day - Monday April 17 - was Jesus son of Joseph's actual birthday (in 6 BC) and Rebel General Joseph Johnston surrendered.

    I've been to Ford's Theater. It's truly a national treasure - it's looks exactly as it did in 1863. It's one of the most amazing historical places I've seen. Everyone should go. Be advised - you need tickets that you order in advance. I didn't have any, but I was able to wait in the front and ask people if they had an extra - and got two that way. :)

    I met a Lincoln collector at a collectibles show who had a playbill from April 14, 1865 from My American Cousin signed by all four of the conspirators who were hanged. He said a relative of his was a guard at the prison and just before the prisoners were led out to the gallows he had each of them sign the Playbill. Now THAT is a fantastic piece of Lincoln memorabilia! He said he was taking the Playbill to Antique road so when it was in his area. I can't find any episode of that show with his item.

    The coat is in VERY fragile condition. I was surprised they moved it as they did, picking it up with several people didn't look safe, placing it on a covered board to move it would be better. Answering some questions: moving and displaying is hard on textiles, light itself is bad, as well as temps. That is why the short time of display. It would have been helpful though to show how it looked after they had it set up for display. But, we are fortunate to still have this important part of history.
