    The Peterson House: The Story Behind The Story
    Apr 12 2025

    Host Brian Smith describes "the Story Behind the Story" of the Petersen House, now known as the house where Lincoln died. The Peterson House is rooted in the tragic events of April 14-15, 1865. After President Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre, he was carried across the street to the Petersen House, a boarding house owned by William and Anna Petersen, where he ultimately passed away. The house, built in 1849, had served as both a family home and a boarding house, providing accommodation for various residents. After Lincoln's death, the house became a historic site and a museum, memorializing the final moments of the 16th president.
