Here’s a great little story from the National Museum of American History blog about President Lincoln‘s gold plated watch. It seems a watch repairman had a family secret that’s lasted since 1861. It was unknown if his story was true or not and the museum indulged an investigation. Did they find a secret message inside of Lincoln’s watch that even the president didn’t know about? Check out their post!
