Years ago, I visited the Amerian History Wax Museum in Gatlingburg, TN. There was a depiction of Ford's Theatre with Mary seated wearing a white dress. It is my understanding the museum has since closed, and I do not know if that particular wax figure still exists. There is also at least one wax figure of Mary in Hodgenville, Kentucky.

Mary was wearing a dark blue dress with a small fleur-di-lis pattern.
