The flag draped over Abe Lincoln’s casket is on display at a steakhouse.

U.S. History

O ne iconic piece of Lincoln memorabilia is the American flag that was draped over the president's casket during a seven-state, 13-day funeral train tour prior to his burial. At the end of the tour, the 37-star flag fell into the possession of an Army doctor, remaining in his family for more than a century. It was eventually donated to a Florida museum and later put up for auction in 2024, when it sold to businessman Tilman Fertitta — who put it on display in a rather surprising location.

The flags raised at Iwo Jima go on display each year for 36 days.

For a limited time each year, the two American flags raised atop Japan’s Mount Suribachi during the World War II Battle of Iwo Jima are displayed at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Virginia. This annual exhibit begins on February 19 and lasts until March 26, commemorating the beginning and end of the 36-day conflict. Both flags were flown on February 23, 1945. The first was a 54-by-28-inch flag raised by Marines after capturing the mountaintop. But Lt. Col. Chandler Johnson, who served as a commanding officer during the battle, wanted the flag to remain with his battalion, so he ordered it be replaced. A second flag raising occurred later that day, during which the first flag was lowered and replaced by a much larger 90-by-56-inch flag. This second ceremony was captured by photographer Joe Rosenthal in the iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning image.
