You can see where Lincoln took his last breath. First of all, after seeing the Ford Theater across the street, I went to this tour. You can see part of history.

What do you know about the bed Lincoln died in? Where it was made and when? We have one just like it.

I know it was too short for him. They had to let his legs dangle off the side of it(being how he was so tall), I read the original was moved out to Chicago at some point & bought for about $80(along with other furniture pieces)...not sure where it was made or when, but I assume it would be around the same time period & date completion of the Petersen House itself🛏

John Wilkes Booth an actor, assassinated Lincoln as a southern sympathizer who want to be held it help the South negotiate freedom from the North. It's a classic story and booth has his own trail from the assassination.

Luis LAGUINGE | Sep 26, 2019

I do not think so. But I believe it could be useful to read something about Lincoln before visit the site.

No, he was assasinated across the street at Ford's Theatre. He was taken to the Peterson House after and he died there not too long after being shot. Coincidentally, John Wilkes Booth who shot him had stayed in the not too many weeks before.
