Joe and Gene are correct, and while Abraham Lincoln allegedly desired to see the place (the Fehrenbachers from what I could find online rate this "D" thought):

...Mary actually did in 1869.
Current score:
Laurie 7
Joe 6
Gene 6
Roger 4
Rogerm 2
Thomas 1
Today is Edith Piaf's 100th birthday!

Happy birthday, Edith Piaf. What a wonderful talent, but what a sad life.

Advent season is reaching the home stretch - and still (almost) everything is possible.
What do you think is #20?

A dress of Mary Lincoln's?

This one.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Gene C - 12-19-2015 07:19 PM
Confederate officers uniform?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-19-2015 07:20 PM
Two excellent guesses, Joe and Gene - sorry, it's neither of these.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - J. Beckert - 12-19-2015 07:25 PM
Lincoln's office coat.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-19-2015 07:27 PM
Another brilliant idea, Joe, but not correct either.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-19-2015 07:29 PM
It looks like fabric, though. It that correct?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-19-2015 07:31 PM
Yes, Roger, that is correct. (Can you determine what kind of?)
Hint #1: As you could see, I will answer yes/no questions.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-19-2015 07:35 PM
Curtains from the State Box at Ford's Theatre?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-19-2015 07:36 PM
Another one outstanding guess, Roger, but not correct either.
(Please consider "approaching" questions...)
Hint #2: It's not such a large item.
Hint #3: The item indeed "witnessed" the assassination.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-19-2015 08:06 PM
Can you say if it some kind of fabric worn by a person at Ford's Theatre?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - J. Beckert - 12-19-2015 08:06 PM
A Jeannie Gourlay dress?

Hint #4: The item was not entirely made of this fabric.
