One of the things we've talked about doing is going to see the
Dr. Mudd House and Museum which is not far from where we live in MD. You'll recall that Dr. Mudd is where John Wilkes Booth rode his horse after assasinating Pres. Lincoln to get his broken leg set.
Our timing was perfect as they were doing a holiday open house so the place was all decorated for Christmas.
I love these types of decorations so it was fun for just that part of it but the history is fascinating as well. Pretty controversial this Dr. Mudd and because the home is run by a family foundation, their take on what happened that night and how involved Dr. Mudd was in the whole conspiracy was very different than down the road at the Surratt Tavern where we headed next.
