One of the more. . .unusual objects in our political history collections is this collection of presidential hair. Created by John Varden in the 1850s, this framed collection includes locks from the first 14 U.S. presidents—from George Washington to Franklin Pierce. Swipe right to take a closer look at the locks.
How did this object get to the museum? John Varden, a private collector, began to collect these locks of hair in 1850. At the time, he was working as keeper of collections for the National Institute for the Promotion of Science at the U.S. Patent Office. Varden eventually donated the set to the national historical collection (which was then a part of the Patent Office), and in the late 1800s, the national collection became part of the Smithsonian Institution.
