Abraham Washington is the 45-year old^[1] owner and curator of the Capitol Preservation Society in Rivet City in 2277.

Background

Abraham Washington was born in 2232. He collects U.S. relics from the D.C. area, as well as famous U.S. documents. He inherited the museum from his parents who where just as passionate about preserving their heritage as he is.^[1]

Abraham Washington does not have any known family still alive.

He is a social outcast, who rarely moves outside of the museum and often talks to himself. He has better bonding with the objects in his preservation society than with any person.^[1]

Daily schedule

As curator, he is normally seen walking around Capitol Preservation Society rooms and sometimes around other parts nearby.

Interactions with the player character

Talking to Abraham Washington for the first time you will learn about his Capitol Preservation Society and some basic information about American history.

After a short dialogue he will ask you to retrieve the Declaration of Independence from the National Archives. Most of the artifacts he has on display were also pillaged from the National Archives. Looting from his rooms will yield nothing of major value.

Quests

Abraham will purchase the following:

Items from the National Archives

• Bill of Rights — 100 caps (125 caps with high enough barter)

Inventory

Notes

• When asked about the history of the Declaration of Independence, Abraham will give a humorous, inaccurate description filled with anachronisms, saying that the document was signed at "Fort McHarry" (as opposed to McHenry) in Philadelphia and was taken by plane (presumably) to Britain, to be presented to the king. He also calls the Revolutionary War the "Evolutionary War". His issues with history are understandable, considering that after 200 years, the obvious lack of an institution to preserve history would force him to use damaged archives which might have certain names barely readable.
• Abraham Washington is marked as essential.

Behind the scenes

• His name is a combination of "Abraham" Lincoln and George "Washington", two U.S. presidents.

Appearances

Abraham Washington appears only in Fallout 3.
