Lincoln stayed and penned his final draft of theGettysburg Address

The first image on shows the display card withthe actual small piece wood attached below the image of David Wills house as itlooked in 1890. A small image of a portion of the original beam is on the lowerright.

The actual piece of wood is about 7/8 inch long and is mounted on a 5 x 7 inch descriptiveCOA display that can easily be framed. Each piece of wood will vary slightlydepending on how it was cut from the original larger piece. The display isprotected by a stiff plastic protector.
