Abraham Lincoln's prized possessions in peril

Update; they announced they wouldn’t auction off any of the items

It seems like something that would belong to a government sanctuary and not a private museum

You know if we can give millions to other countries, we can help this museum out

They should Not be sold period! They belonged to America's greatest President! Debt or No Debt, Mr. Lincoln would not want his Belongings sold. Have some respect !

All of his items belong in the Smithsonian! This is a travesty!

The idea of these priceless artifacts of Mr. Lincoln being sold to private collectors is appalling. There are enough wealthy Americans in our country who step forward to prevent these artifacts from leaving the museum where the are cared for and protected for posterity.

There has to be a wealthy man somewhere with a soul. This museum needs help.

To quote Indiana Jones: It belongs in a museum!

“Not any mismanagement of funds” Ma’am you owe $9.7 million dollars 😭😭

When I was a small child we visited the Detroit museum where Abraham Lincoln's rocking chair was on display. Back in the day you could sit in it and my teacher asked if anyone wanted to sit in the chair, and I was the only one who raised my hand. I felt a chill the moment I sat down in the chair, and I was beaming ear to ear. I still remember the day as if it was yesterday and the feeling I felt when I sat in the chair such energy came from this one piece of furniture. I always felt a connection to Abraham Lincoln and I have read every book I could find on this president.

You should give it back to me!

I was there a couple of months ago and that place is amazing

So grateful that someone thought to save these items, back in 1865, so future admirers can see them!

Please don't !

I bet the government saved his DNA from that gloves!

My Favorite one is his tall top hat🎩

1:11 How come you made it seem like Lincoln didn't pay his debts when he was alive and well? As it turns out the Museum bought TOO much EXPENSIVE Lincoln stuff on a loan and couldn't pay it on time. Lincoln can't catch a break, the museum botched things.

They should go to his great great grandson Ralph C Lincoln

just get bill gates or steve bezos to buy it. heck, $9mill is literally lunch money to those dudes.

The hat alone is worth more than a million, it’s iconic
