Lincoln Bed, Lincoln Bedroom
This bed, famously called the "Lincoln Bed" because it was purchased by First Lady Mary Lincoln in 1861 for the principal guest room, is made of rosewood and has an ornately carved headboard featuring exotic birds and clusters of grapes. Though President Lincoln did not sleep in this bed, other presidents did, including Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. First Lady Grace Coolidge also used this piece.
