Description:
The Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House Museum in Waldorf, Maryland, offers a glimpse into Civil War history through the lens of Dr. Mudd's life and legacy. Dr. Mudd, a local physician, famously treated John Wilkes Booth’s broken leg as Booth fled after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln. This act led to Mudd’s controversial arrest and imprisonment, casting a long shadow over his legacy. The museum, housed in the original 19th-century farmhouse, features artifacts, period furniture, and rooms preserved to reflect life in that era, allowing visitors to explore both the historical and personal complexities surrounding Dr. Mudd's story.
