Quentin was our guide and we truly enjoyed his presentation in the history behind the Surrat house. He was informative, engaging, humorous and knowledgeable. He kept our attention and intrigue about the history. Thanks Quentin for a wonderful experience!

Mary Surratt was the first woman executed by the federal government because of her involvement in that conspiracy against President Lincoln. However John Booth never set foot inside this house, and he spent a grand total of seven minutes waiting outside on his horse.

Brilliant tour really informative, not trying to be something flasher than they are! Honesty about the limited involvement in the Wilkes Booth story but covering the use of the property and the history of those who lived and worked there

History is all around us and shapes our world. The Mary Surratt Museum does an amazing job of integrating the past to the present, and working to show the value of understanding our complicated history. The staff is absolutely amazing and so passionate about the work. They are knowledgeable, kind and fun to be around. The museum is well-kept with easy parking and very accessible. This is a must visit. The museum offers an amazing gift shop with a great selection of books. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit Wonderful! Nina Spinelli.
