After John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, he fled to Maryland. Suffering from a broken leg, Booth stopped at this doctor's home in Charles County. Dr. Mudd, unaware of whom his patient was and that Lincoln had been shot, proceeded to set the broken leg. Booth then proceeded to Garrett's Farm where he was caught. Dr. Mudd was arrested, but was later pardoned by President Johnson in1869. He returned to his practice here at this farm. Admission: $4 Adults; $1 Children. Charles County is about 45 minutes south of Washington off Route 205. Review © 2009, Wcities |
