Admission Card to Lincoln's Funeral
The public viewing of President Lincoln's body took place in the East Room of the White House on Tuesday, April 18, 1865, between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Special groups were admitted in the off-hours, after which carpenters set to work preparing the area for the official funeral service on the following day. Tickets like the one shown here were required for admittance to the April 19 funeral service.
