The Hall has a great deal of material, but the last time I went I thought it needed organization. ALPLM and Springfield Tourism do not publicize the Hall.

This was new to me, too. I thought Ford's itself had that flag, and the small strip of it that Booth broke off was discovered by the Connecticut Historical Society. The strip was located in the same box that contained the Treasury Guard national flag which the Connecticut Historical Society has in its possession.
