Lincoln's death mask is on display at the Library of Congress along with some of his personal effects. Really interesting to see.

The Lincoln stuff they have in the basement of Ford's Theater is pretty interesting, too.

My father-in-law had Lincoln family members. His mother was a Lincoln, although no direct connection to Abe has ever been located. We were in Gettysburg and stopped at a museum that had a bronze cast of Lincoln's death mask. My wife and I were both stunned when we saw the face of dad there. I had never noticed any similarity to any pictures of Lincoln. I recall there were 57 taken.
