Yes, the single-shot .44 caliber derringer, which John Wilkes Booth used to shoot President Lincoln, was found on the floor of the State Box room (the private room, reserved for the President, where the President was sitting, when he was shot.).

It is now on display at the museum in Ford's Theater.
