Museum Provenance

Our forefathers established a lasting democracy, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. President Lincoln kept our nation united, while abolishing slavery. And political parties—channels of our passions—have helped to keep alive our freedom to choose our leaders. These exceptional patriotic gifts and keepsakes were inspired by the Presidential and political collections of our National Museum of American History.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
