Its main artifact is the "Bloody Lincoln Flag," but also the noose used in the only public hanging in the town. Plus: 200 year old arsenic tainted birds. Rumors of the ghost of Juliette Peirce, the philosophers wife. Nightshirt belonging to the fattest man in the area -- a Mr. Cornelius, who was 645 pounds at death and was lowered into the ground by a crane. Mourning attire.
It's all housed in a 1904 neo-classical mansion on Broad Street in Milford, Pa. [Gloria Huysse, 04/23/2007]
[RA: The museum is run by the Pike County Historical Society. "The Lincoln Flag" is the one from Ford's Theatre that was draped over the balustrade of the Presidential box. The flag was shoved under Lincoln's head as he lay mortally wounded...]Nearby Offbeat Places
