The house and history is one of a kind . The tour is very informative and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about the history.

If you are interested in the assassination of Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth and his connection to Dr. Mudd then this is the place for you. Informative tour with charming guide and interesting artifacts. The grounds are extensive if you want to walk through fields with informative plaques and wildlife. I saw a pheasant with her poults trailing after in a nearby field.

I have wanted to go to Dr. Mudd's house for some time now. I got there just as a tour of the house was starting. I paid the ten dollar fee and joined in the tour.
The tour guide was a woman in period dress. She was quite knowledgable in the history of the house and the Mudd family. Shke said 95 percent of the furnishings were orginal family owned pieces. I saw the bed where Dr. MUDD fixed John Wilkes Booth's leg. It seems his horse fell on him and broke his leg, not jumping to the stage.

The home of Dr. Samuel Mudd is a little off the beaten path but is well worth the effort is you are a history buff. The home of Dr. Mudd is where John Wilkes Booth and David Herold came seeking medical treatment for Booth’s Broken Leg following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Dr. Mudd was later arrested and spent almost 4 years in prison for assisting the assassin. The home is well preserved and remained in the Mudd Family for several Generations. I was able to take the guided tour of the home which was conducted by a wonderful lady in period dress. The tour was more like a conversation than an actual scripted tour. Most of the furniture in the home actually belonged to the Mudd Family including a number of pieces that belonged to Dr. Mudd including the Sofa and bed Dr. Mudd treated Booth. The tours are very informal, which adds to the wonderful history of the site. There is a small gift shop where you purchase your tour tickets and are greeted by your guide. After the house tour you are free to walk around the grounds at your leisure. After I finished my visit, I made my way about 5-miles down the road to the St. Mary’s Catholic Church where Dr. Mudd and other members of his family are buried. I really enjoy my visit here and the tour was one of the best I have ever had.

Very informative with a cute little store. Plenty of space for the kids to run. I really enjoyed some of the architecture since I grew up in a very old house.
