Anyone ever heard of this painting? No telling what else is in storage we don't know about.

Well, after some browsing, I see someone has already posted this. So what other artifacts, etc. exist that only the most ardent Boothies know about?

What's great about the painting is it verifies that there was at least one street light in front of Ford's in 1865, and we know there was one in front of Petersen's Boarding House, so people looking out of the windows or off porches that rainy night likely were able to see the things they said they saw.
