What happens to the historical artifacts related to the death of a president? When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, artifacts such as bone specimens, medical tools and the actual bullet that killed him were preserved. Today, those are featured in a museum exhibit, but how did they get here? This intriguing story, told by NMHM collections managers, will serve as the capstone event for NMHM's 150th anniversary commemoration of Lincoln's death.
FREE! Open to the public. No RSVP required.
