Did you know Abraham Lincoln's final journey home took nearly two weeks?

For this Friday's funeral fact, we're taking a look back at one of the most remarkable funeral processions in American history.

As part of President Abraham Lincoln's funeral arrangements, his body was transported by train from Washington, D.C., to his hometown of Springfield, Illinois.
