They did a mask on Lincoln when he first got un office and when he died and compared the two of them. It truly shows a more weathered face at the end of his life. Loved this!!

[SassyHooper]

I'm so thankful for those who are willing to put themselves in danger for progress, knowledge and change!! Bless your heart, Rosa Parks.

Here is another fun tidbit, just before I was a cop for Detroit I worked a short time at the Riverfront Towers where Rosa Parks and the one time mayor of Detroit lived (Coleman Young) as security and once a week Mrs Parks would give me an apple and I had no idea at the time it was her. I just knew her as Mrs Parks.

I have been there dozens of times. Absolutely the best place to go. And the village too.

God bless president Lincoln for abolishing slavery among his other random contributions to American society as we know it today. Really sad how the true greats tend to meet a truly sorrowful demise more often than not.

An FYI, Rosa Parks was not the first African American to sit in the white section. It was actually a 15 year old girl by the name of Claudette Colvin, who wouldn't give up her seat to a white person.
I don't know why history doesn't recognize the true facts sometimes.

The wood in Licoln's chair looks remarkably well preserved. I can understand the fabric aging but the wood looks almost pristine.

wow that's an amazing museum. So much and it works on all your emotions. The car Kennedy was killed in. The chair President Lincoln was killed in. Rosa Parks bus. Slave shackles. The first Mustang. Beautiful cars. Such a roller coaster of emotion. I would have never guessed what this place holds. Thank you.

This museum is incredible. I was amazed and surprised to see Lincoln's chair. It was interesting to see all of the history so wonderfully preserved and displayed so we'll. That house so futuristic I loved it, especially that dresser. Can't wait to see tomorrow's vlog.

This one is packed full of so many awesome things and historry. Nice touch with putting their glasses in the seat. The Rosa Parks Bus, the Lincoln stuff, the Weinerbus, ans That House were my favorite parts. Awesome video man

Of course it's Lincoln's blood on the chair. But the man trying to stop Booth was slashed severely and also bled at the scene. BTW, didn't they have guides to answer questions?

[nanettebryant]

I have been to The Henry Ford Museum many times...never disappoints...rememer seeing the Lincoln chair..great vlog😊

[angelahartley]

Yes...i am 63 and when i used to go with my grandmother downtown and as the bus made its stops the African Americans were never told to go to the back if the bus...they just knew to! As a child i could not understand whty? As an adult i still dont understand why they did what they did! O may be in the minority but we were all made in Gods image...werent we?

I went to high school inside of the village and Museum. Every time I went to the restroom I walked past the Kennedy car and the Lincoln chair and the significance never was lost on me. It was an outstanding place to go to school. Very College Prep focused program young teachers. Very well funded. I used to take a special walk into the museum to go see the Stradivarius violin almost everyday, in Lovett hall actually. The Village Campus of Henry Ford Academy can be pretty hard to spot it's in the far back corner near the Lagoon with the paddle boat. When the Rosa Parks bus was first brought back to the museum they brought all of us students out to the parking lot to see the actual bus before it was touched or restored or repainted at all. When it was still really the actual bus. People were crying. Also when the Ford Focus was a prototype vehicle it was brought to the school for us students to come out and give our opinions on its design, and particularly the entertainment system. Which is part of the reason why the Ford Focus has an abnormally nice stereo. Your welcome! Haha

Spent half my childhood at GFV….my great grandmothers sideboard is somewhere in the indoor museum…..the outdoor museum was always my favorite….one day was never enough time to see it all…..thanks for this walk down memory lane…..

[RhettyforHistory]

Very moving to see Lincoln's chair like that. I had no idea that existed. I can't believe how much light they have on it. Seems like it would deteriorate it faster.

[emilykirchgesler]

I had an opportunity to visit the theatre and see the bed he passed away in across the street from the theatre twice in my life. Profound and amazing experience. Everytime I go to Disneyland I make it a point to see Great moments with Mr. Lincoln. Wonderful president. Thank you for a great vlog!!

[ilanarhian]

There’s an old game show called I’ve Got a Secret, there’s an episode of it on YouTube on which a very old man appears and he was a witness of the assassination when he was a little boy.

So glad you liked it here! Michigan is a lively place
