The Bullet That Killed Lincoln!!! | History Traveler Episode 15

This was one of the CRAZIEST museums that I've ever been to. The bullet that killed Lincoln. Bone fragments from his skull. Medical oddities. Bones and skulls shattered by gun shots and artillery. Insane!!!! Definitely worth the visit if you are near Washington DC. Always learning!

Great tour! For anyone in the northern NJ-PA area, interested in everything Lincoln, a visit to the little Columns Museum in Milford, PA is a must. Prominent in their collection is a large American Flag stained with Lincoln's blood. For many years, historians passed this off as a "hoax" until the 1990's, when a closer study of provenance established it as authentic. The story goes that one of the flags adorning Lincoln's balcony box in Ford's Theater, was grabbed, rolled up and placed under his head to comfort him until he could be moved across the street. The man who kept the flag was from PA, and a member of Lincoln's Cabinet. This flag has been cited as the most valuable American flag next to the "Star Spangled Banner".

Also on display is Lincoln's duster jacket that was draped over the chair he was sitting in at the time he was shot.
