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.
