Items From The Night Of The Assassination to undergo conservation - Thomas Kearney - 07-19-2017 03:24 PM

The National Park Service is sending artifacts on display in the Lincoln Museum to a lab to preserve these artifacts for future generations to see them. Items include the mannequin with Lincoln's clothes, the Treasury Flag, and William Withers' Coat. I only noticed the replica Brooks Brothers made of the great coat today. There are also replicas of the artifacts until they finish undergoing conservation.
