This is an EXCELLENT museum regarding the Lincoln assassination and funeral. Once you walk past the house in which he died, you will be lead through 4 levels of American history buff paradise.

This was fantastic! Not much to see in the house. Originals are in Chicago. Nice feature on Abe's hat, flag, his coat.

The house where Abraham Lincoln died was built in 1849 by William Petersen. In 1893 the house was occupied by the District of Columbia Memorial Association to honor the president.

Bed where Lincoln died is now in Chicago and the tour guides are rude. Don't waste your time.
