The house is where President Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was treated for a broken leg the morning after the crime. Though unaware of the assassination and the identity of his patient, Dr. Mudd was convicted of complicity and sentenced to life imprisonment. He was pardoned in 1869 by President Andrew Johnson. The house contains family furnishings of the period. A farm museum, a Civil War museum and exhibit building also can be seen.
