  • AtFord's Theatre, theNational Park Service has aBrooks Brothers overcoat and suit worn by Lincoln on the night he was shot, as well as two pillows from Lincoln's deathbed at thePetersen House across the street.[3]
  • TheArmy Medical Museum, now named the National Museum of Health and Medicine, has retained in its collection several artifacts relating to the assassination. Currently on display are the bullet that struck Lincoln,[4] the probe used by Barnes, pieces of Lincoln's skull and hair, and the surgeon's cuff stained with Lincoln's blood.
  • The chair in which Lincoln was shot is on display at theHenry Ford Museum inDearborn, Michigan.[5]
  • Found in Lincoln's pockets after his death were two pairs of eyeglasses, an eyeglass case, a lens polisher, a pocketknife, a watch fob, amonogrammed sleeve button, a monogrammed linen handkerchief, and a brown leather wallet containing a pencil, aConfederate five-dollarbill, and eight recent newspaper clippings with favorable remarks about Lincoln and his policies, includingBritish MPJohn Bright's testimonial for Lincoln's re-election.[6] TheConfederate currency was probably acquired as a souvenir when Lincoln visited Richmond and Petersburg earlier that month. These items were kept in the Lincoln family for many years and are now stored in the Rare Book and Special Collections Division in theLibrary of Congress.[7]
  • The day before his assassination, Lincoln wrote a personal check for $800 to "self", reportedly to cover some debts incurred by his wife. That check, and several other historical checks, were put on display byHuntington Bank at a branch inCleveland in 2012, after a Huntington employee discovered the checks in 2011 while looking through old documents from a bank Huntington had acquired in 1983. Although checks from several other historical figures were also on display, the check written by Lincoln two days before his death received the most attention.[8]
