- unlike the Lincoln relics on display at Ford's all of the JFK relics such as his suit, Oswald's rifle, and Jackie's pink outfit are property of the National Archives and are not allowed to be displayed publicly per agreement with the Kennedy family until the year 2113!

According to the New York Times article on Jackie's pink suit, "scholars and researchers who meet special criteria of the archives may view President Kennedy’s clothing and the rifle used by Lee Harvey Oswald. To the best of anyone’s knowledge, access to Mrs. Kennedy’s suit for research purposes has never been granted."
