@unscripted.tours: Did you know this small detail on Abraham Lincoln’s famous top hat holds so much heartbreak? 🎩🖤 On display at the National Museum of American History, this is the actual stovepipe hat Lincoln wore to Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. If you look closely, it features a black mourning band added by Lincoln himself to honor his 11-year-old son, Willie, who tragically passed away from typhoid fever in 1862. It’s one of the most powerful and moving artifacts in all of Washington, D.C. 📍 National Museum of American History, Washington, D.C. #AbrahamLincoln #AmericanHistory #Smithsonian #WashingtonDC #DCTravel
