Interesting old relic of the 19th century. I wonder if JFK's hearse is for sale, or in a museum where I can see it. It might be worth a 'haunted road trip." But only after I've visited an actual haunted place first.

Good question, Mike... I really don't know. Maybe you can do the search online and find out. ;)

Someone needs to buy both of those and start an assassination museum.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

I was reading an article that said the first lady ordered that hearse to be destroyed so it wouldnt end up in an assassination museum, but it never was.....We have a funeral science museum here in Houston and that hearse would fit in perfect there, they have a replica of Lincolns casket and hearse there...

When I was in middle school, we went to visit Lincoln's historical place somewhere near Charlottesville, VA. I remember the place called "Lincoln's Virginia Ancestors near Linville in Rockingham County, VA.

900,000 dollars for a hearse!! You can actualy buy two Rolls Royce Phantom IVs with that kine of money and still have a few bucks left over for gas.
