I live right by the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn MI and I have always wondered how we received Abraham Lincoln's assassination chair (the chair he was sitting in when she was killed). Does anyone know how the museum inherited this chair. Also, is this the 100% actual chair that he was killed in?

How and why does the Henry Ford Museum have Lincoln's assassination chair?I think that Ford might have bought it straight up. I've always liked their presidential limousines! I believe that it has been reupholstered.
