Kennedy's presidential limousine, Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theatre, Thomas Edison's laboratory, the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop and many more. We only had one hour to spare because we were in the area for a wedding not site seeing. his mean I had to get Karen out of bed and to the museum then back to the room to change for the wedding. <grin>

For lunch break you got $1.50 to spend and the girls couldn't even eat that much. There were so many things to see and we had such a short amount of time some day I would love to go back again as we only scratched the surface.

It grew into the ultimate place to explore what Americans past and present have imagined and invented — a remarkable destination that brings American ideas and innovations to life." Everything in the museum is very well displayed and presented. AND they actually served food in this diner inside the museum. Too cool.
