When President Lincoln was shot on April 14, 1865, he was wearing a black overcoat made especially for his second inaugural by Brooks Brothers.
The coat is cared for by the National Park Service and periodically displayed in the Ford's Theater museum lobby.
American History TV documented the process of removing a replica coat and placing the original coat on display for the public and learned how the artifact is preserved for future generations.
Wow, those are some really great boxes they're showing. Too bad you really don't get to see what's in them.
garyjd1166 lol

Cool, I'm really impressed by the boxes and packaging you use to store this stuff. That's exactly what I came here to see.
IT IS GOOD TO KNOW YOU ARE SO EASILY ENTERTAINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!

Tyler Scott because the want you to come to the museum...
I agree!
A lot of blabbing but we didn't see the coat.
Nancy Desch um what um did um you um expect? Ummmm
@@donnebes9421 to see the coat
@@donnebes9421 Um, the coat - duh!
If I wanted this much blabbing I’d talk to my wife
Here's the coat reveal from the longer program: www.c-span.org/video/?c4926837/lincolns-overcoat-revealed
Seems everyone was disappointed Lincoln’s coat wasn’t shown like they gave the impression it was to be. Back in the late 60s I visited Fords theater and we were allowed to see the chair he was shot in. There were blood stains on the back. We also saw the peek hole Booth cut into the door. We went across the street to the boarding house that they took him to and saw the bed he died in along with the blood stained pillow he died on. Oh, the original flag Booth got stuck on was still there. People can’t do that anymore - everything is blocked off or put in museums. I also saw the coat he was shot in with the blood stains which is the coat we didn’t get to see here. I feel privileged for what I was able to see.
When I visited D.C. in the early 80's, we were allowed in the boarding house across the street. The blood stained pillow was on the bed and encased in a special air tight box.
The actual bed that he was on has long since been removed from the home. In tg2e 90's, there were still original artifacts in the downstairs museum at Ford's, including the weapon that the punk coward Booth used to shoot the man from behind. Abe would've kicked his ass in a fight.
@White Women lust Black Men Yup. Most of the real artifacts are long gone.
You can still see the chair he sat down, just that you would have to go to Dearborn, Michigan to see it. The bed that he died in, I believe that it is in Chicago.
LOL you know the blood on the Chair and throughout the box Lincoln was in is not his. I will let you reply to see if you actually know whos it is
But the coat. I wanted to see the coat!
acg smith Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard, and Dr. Fine don’t get to see it.
Soitenly
right
Me too😢
Seriously!?!?! All of that and no coat!!!!!
Absolutely the single best box video on the net. Everything about it just screams "Important box!" I'll be telling my friends.
Didn't get to see the coat, but the woman talking about it was really cute.
Would be nice to PIIHB
Yes she was gorgeous!
Very
After all that you don’t give us a good view of the coat?
link to full video is in the description
It must have been resting.
Disappointing that we didn’t get to see the overcoat, but it is cool that they’re preserving these pieces of our history so that future generations will be able to appreciate them as well.
I was there in 1962 before it actually was restored. I don't think the original theatre had a glass front and a covered area like this. But we did see the door where Booth carved out a hole so he could watch President Lincoln. We went across the street to "The House Where Lincoln Died" and we saw the bed and the pillow encased in a glass case and the pillow had blood all over it.
I had worked in DC in the summers of 1979 and 1980 and took the same tours of Ford's Theater and the Peterson House and saw the same things. The restoration of the theater you see in this video is mostly within the past 30 years or so.
Working with these historic/amazing artifacts; What a dream job.
"American Artifacts Clip: President Lincoln's Box". fixed it for you.
What a load of disappointment. 5:21 of absolutely nothing and no display of Lincoln’s coat.
'Father' Abraham Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself can not stand" (Matthew 12:25) and "4 score and 7 years ago, our fathers" which was a reference to Abraham in Genasis 16:16 who was "4 score and 6 years old" when the "slave girl Hagar gave birth to Ishmael" (Is he male?). The 16th president and 'p16resident' at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was shot on Good Friday at John Ford's Theater which was originally a Baptist church. Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth with his wife Mary at his side, but he didn't die on Good Friday. He died the following morning across the street at the Petersen House. The previous Sunday - April 9th - was Palm Sunday and the date of Robert E. Lee's surrender just 7 days after surrendering Petersburg. April 9, 30 AD was the original Easter Sunday.
On Easter morning 1865, the whole United States - North and South - was learning of the President's death. Some pastors that fateful Sunday mourning where making the connections in their sermons between Jesus and Lincoln. The following day - Monday April 17 - was Jesus son of Joseph's actual birthday (in 6 BC) and Rebel General Joseph Johnston surrendered.
I was expecting you to show the coat!!! I don't like being teased like that.
The Petersen House across the street from Ford's Theater is the proper name of the house where Lincoln died. It is still open to the public.
The reverence shown by the staff is remarkable. There is good in this world yet. You all give me hope.
The Lincoln Shrine in Redlands, California, is the best collection of Lincoln/Civil War artifacts I personally have ever seen. When I was in the old building 25 years ago, they had Top Hats, Cloaks, and Canes, that Lincoln had used. They had on display several hairs, from locks, cut by Mary Todd after his death. There was a Bible that belonged to Stonewall Jackson, that had notes written in the corner of the pages, in Jackson’s handwriting.
The collection was made by a wealthy, turn-of-the century Redlands real estate investor, Robert Watchorn. Watchorn was an immigrant from Britain who greatly admired Lincoln. The museum room was filled with authentic Civil War battle field relics, Rifles, Mini-balls, Bayonets, Watchorn had collected in the early 1900’s.
I was told at that time, the Museum only displayed about a third of what Watchorn had collected. The rest of the collection was stored in a warehouse.
A new, larger, museum has been built and I intend to visit it this fall.
strange that it's not in Kentucky where Lincoln was born. Same thing with Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose being on the west coast I guess. He was from Humble, Texas.
Boy, that lil security guard is better looking and more interesting to view than the coat ya don’t get to see.
CLICK BAIT!!
Lincoln would be sad today, if he knew his coat was getting better health care than the average American.
Thanks for keeping the coat in the box. I’ll sleep better tonight.
"So the fabrics can relax".
Well, tell the fabrics to get their asses up because they have visitors here to see them.
She had flapping gums! She should’ve show us Lincoln’s coat!
She was just about ready to show us her training bra..........
You have to click on the above link to see the coat and also the suit Lincoln was wearing underneath.
Interesting.
Whew! That was close. They almost showed us the coat.
Thanks for talking about something we didn't see
I've been to Ford's Theater. It's truly a national treasure - it's looks exactly as it did in 1863. It's one of the most amazing historical places I've seen. Everyone should go. Be advised - you need tickets that you order in advance. I didn't have any, but I was able to wait in the front and ask people if they had an extra - and got two that way. :)
BabyBoomerChannel and It smell like the 1800s......well I think so..😂......but wonderful..really step back in time.
No actual viewing of Lincoln coat takes place, but you get to see some boxes and bubble wrap!
“Your uniform don’t seem to fit / you’re much too alive in it” - The Police, ‘Ms. Gradenko’
Ditto - Thanks for not showing the coat. Appreciate it. That's five minutes of my life i won't ever get back.
My mother, uncle, step father and cousin all worked for Brooks Brothers, great store, wore their weejuns all through grade school.
I met a Lincoln collector at a collectibles show who had a playbill from April 14, 1865 from My American Cousin signed by all four of the conspirators who were hanged. He said a relative of his was a guard at the prison and just before the prisoners were led out to the gallows he had each of them sign the Playbill. Now THAT is a fantastic piece of Lincoln memorabilia! He said he was taking the Playbill to Antique road so when it was in his area. I can't find any episode of that show with his item.
Probably a forgery.
What Happened? Why didn't they show the coat?
I got to see the coat in a lower level museum a number of years ago. Pieces had been cut out, but the majority of the piece was intact. I loved the custom lining it had. It was a beautiful coat.
Topps bought the missing bits for relic cards !
I think this is what is called " click bait" . Thank goodness I kept fast forwarding to see THE COAT ,, which never appeared. Oh well,, live and learn,,,,
Tom Jones Commas are not ellipses, fucktard.
Yana is beautiful and Knowledgeable.
President Lincoln's Overcoat Box should be the title for this video. Very disappointed.
She is BEAUTIFUL
Whoever put this clip together must have been smoking crack.
No, video was about very cute security guard
My God, show us the coat!
I saw this coat at the theater many years ago, before the museum upgrade. The eagles in the lining are spectacular.
Hand-quilted to boot. The lady who did the work on it took two 10 hour days to complete it and was paid $8.
Absolutely Awesome
...."so the fabrics can relax". LOL.
Why would they want to tell us this if they weren't going to show us the coat.
Very informative
Is this trailer before the grand exhibit of the great cost?!
Man, preserving can be done through video too, you Know.
So *WHERE* is the photo
of the *COAT* ? I guess I'll
have to take your word, CSPAN. Nice.
Not sure I saw the coat or if.
She's cute.
Yea I was noticing that too. It made the video worth watching!
wth....where's the coat???
I just watched this while damn video about the coat....only to see a box. Thanks
where can I watch the whole thing?
The coat is in VERY fragile condition. I was surprised they moved it as they did, picking it up with several people didn't look safe, placing it on a covered board to move it would be better. Answering some questions: moving and displaying is hard on textiles, light itself is bad, as well as temps. That is why the short time of display. It would have been helpful though to show how it looked after they had it set up for display. But, we are fortunate to still have this important part of history.
he was shot at approx 10.21 the 14th of April but he died 7..21 the following morning on the 15th of April
They couldn't put 'The Great Coat' in a fancier box??
I came to see the coat, I saw the box.
Very disappointing that you watch the whole video and don't actually see the coat
How often do they change the box?
This is deliberately misleading. There should be a rule against leading viewers on. It promises the coat - no coat.
That parks service girl is really hot!!
She also can't put a sentence together.
Rob Scott Yes, she's very pretty. 😃
If you *date* her, do you
get to have a look at the
*COAT* ?
Rob Scott agreed!
She's on Facebook. She's now married and has a kid. Sorry, everyone. :-D
no coat shown
I never know a coat can sit back and relax...
No I won't take your word.show me the coat.there's no coat
This wasn’t about you. It’s was about the coat!
Eh? The coat, I wanna see it like everybody else. “Preserved for this generation and future generations to enjoy”. Except US
That guard is cute:)
Your hard up
You don’t get to see the coat. They show you the box...several boxes and talk talk talk about what’s in them. Americans never stop talking.
Approprite to store textiles in acid free tissue and boxes but I would seriously question the wisdom of using plastic bubble wrap unless it is a totally inert plastic.Plastic throws off vapors and chemical residue often harmful to old fabrics.
I'm sure they will consult you. They aren't professional archivists or anything. Better call ol' Tony Martin from the UA-cam Comments.
@@lyman135 agreed. I think he gives advice at the smithsonian as well. Museum tech Anthony Martin at yer service ….salute
The chair he was in when he was shot in is at the Ford car musium.
Booth was an American hero
Whoever heared a coat at rest
Wow,! A story about boxes.
Not the box factory tour again Seymour.
What was the point of the video of we couldn’t see the coat.. that’s why we clicked on it.
wasted of time for being led to believe you would see the coat! Liars! Can tell your goernment empolyees....USELESS!
Seriously right? What the fuck
TheyCallMeJohnny Yes seriously!
Wally Weener Spell check...
Wally Weener I don't think there is a coat in there. They just like teasing people. Like Lincoln's supposed desk mask - it was actually made out of Playdough.
The cute little ranger !
Woulda been nice to see the actual coat.
Video was about Lincoln's overcoat ......5 min video and the original coat was seen for less than 4 seconds ...and only part off it
all that and we didn't get to see the actual coat clearly...crazi!
I like the large white box
They don't have the coat, just a box.
I sat through all that and didn't get to see the pharkin coat!
Came here to see the great coat. Left seeing cardboard I can see every day.
how did something so important land in the ownership of a private individual?
You would think all these historical items would be more protected in fireproof boxes inside a fireproof dry vault from moisture , instead of those cheap cardboard banker boxes subject to miller moths , bugs, dust, moisture and fire , not to mention a tornado. Why not vacuum seal bag these historical items and put them into a special locked vaults .
God bless curators! Underfunded, underpaid, unsung keepers of the world's past.
He wore a big white box to the theater?
You didn't show the coat? You have to be freakin' kidding me! What were you thinking???
I wished id scrolled down to the comments before I wasted my time w that vid. Worst un boxing vid ever
www.c-span.org/video/?c4926837/lincolns-overcoat-revealed
The coat fabric has to "rest", do they make it do chores, tie it between two opposing horses? WTF
Ummm officer cutie reporting for duty
You keep talking about the coat.noboby seem the coat.theres no coat
To everyone braying about how deceitful it was not to show the coat, this is a snippet that gives a little bit of info ABOUT the coat. If you follow that pretty blue link in the description, it will take you to the FULL VIDEO WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE COAT !!!!
Hey cmon guys. At least she showed you a box. Um, yeah, a box. 😕
Why make a video about the coat and then not show it?
I can't help but think of all the poor, young bastards who possessed these things and probably died.
That is a Frock coat NOT a Great coat. A great coat is a larger winter coat with a small cape that one would wear over their regular coat.
Who was that girl? She was pretty AF
Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
