It was established by Congress for the benefit and inspira tion of the American people and has two close associations with the life of the martyred leader.First, there is the museum building. Formerly the Ford Theater, it was here that John Wilkes Booth played the role of assassin in the greatest tragedy of American history. The second close association with the life of President Lin coln lies in the relics contained in the museum. Compris ing the famous Oldroyd Collection, these exhibits recall intimate episodes in the secular and political career of Lin coln the man. They represent the life work of Osborn H.
