Some Interesting Stuff of Lincoln on Display-- Part 2

The Indiana State Museum had these items:

** The Alexander Gardner Studio chair Lincoln sat in for presidential photographs.

** Toys from son Tad Lincoln.

** Campaign and mourning banners and the 13-star patriotic banner that was hanging in Ford's Theater on the night of the assassination.

** An American flag from Lincoln's funeral in Indianapolis.

** The Lincoln Family Album, a multi-generational collection of photographs of family members and celebrities during the era.

I don't know if these items are always on display. The museum is located at 650 West Washington Street in Indianapolis.
