This important collection contains china, books, and mourning clothing that belonged to Mary Todd Lincoln. Hundreds of documents relating to Lincoln, his family, members of his cabinet, and Civil War military leaders are available. Artifacts include the desk and chair used by Lincoln during his service in the Illinois House of Representatives, a table on which young Lincoln studied grammar and surveying, and tassels from the covering of his coffin, among other items. Just outside the main museum area is The Hall of the Presidents. Here, documents signed by every U.S. president are on display, along with pictures and commemorative medals.
Documents signed by almost every first lady are also available.
