The George Eastman Museum is located in Rochester, New York, on the estate of George Eastman, the pioneer of popular photography and motion picture film. Founded in 1947 as an independent nonprofit institution, it is the world’s oldest photography museum and one of the oldest film archives. The museum holds unparalleled collections—encompassing several million objects—in the fields of photography, cinema, and photographic and cinematographic technology, and photographically illustrated books. The institution is also a longtime leader in film preservation and photographic conservation. There is always something new and different to engage, educate, or entertain you at the Eastman Museum:

    This is certainly NOT where Booth obtained his horse. He got it from the stable of James W Pumphrey. Sources: 1. I am James' Cousin 2. Assassination TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS

Chattanooga Depot, Nashville, Tennessee

    This is a very interesting photo to me because the railcar in the lower right corner maybe a self powered car. The headlight on its roof along with what appears to be a exhaust stack, whistle and something else makes it possible. Hung on the side of the truck seems to be a steam cylinder with piston guides. It also could be a compressor. I leave this to the experts to say what it is. Self powered rail cars around 1865 were rare.
