"Liz Steen, president of the historical society, emphasizes the flag's educational value, stating, 'It connects you to the man behind the flag, Lincoln. And I think it does open people's minds to learn more about him.'"
"Top Lincoln scholars have concluded that the Lincoln Flag was indeed the one used to comfort the dying president, reinforcing its significance as a historical relic."
The Lincoln Flag, housed in the Columns Museum in Milford, Pennsylvania, is a significant historical artifact linked to Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Originally found in Lincoln's box on the night of his death, the flag was used by Thomas Gourlay, an actor, to cushion Lincoln. After passing through Gourlay's family, the flag was donated to the Pike County Historical Society in 1954. Experts affirm its authenticity, noting human blood on the flag, which adds to its historical importance.
