Petersen House

Yes.

Well, L- Lincoln died Saturday morning, April 15th, and within less than an hour of his body being removed from the Petersen House across the street from Ford's Theatre, the room was in disarray.

The bloody pillows and pillowcases were still on the bed.

The bloody sheets still covered the mattress.

I think Lincoln would've been mortified and embarrassed at the grandness of these tributes.

And you mentioned the coffin.

Now, Lincoln was brought back from the Petersen House to the White House in a pine ammunition crate, or a rifle case.

He w- They, they couldn't even get a coffin in time.

We have a book-

Ford's Theatre, plus, uh, the, the Peterson House, where Lincoln died across the street.

Yeah, basically a full documentary on Lincoln's assassination.

Mm-hmm.

[buzzer buzzes]

Well, the answer is Petersen House.

Play, share, listen.

Question five is next.

Uh, and we still have a ton of footage to bring you.

We went to the Lincoln, Ford's Theatre, where Lincoln was shot, and then across the street where he was, where he died at the Petersen House.

Anyway, we're trying to crank these documentaries out.

Well, I wrote the script, and Logan's been very, very busy.

But the most famous one, of course, is the one of, uh, JFK.

So that should be out tomorrow for you guys to watch if you're a Vault member.

Next one we're working on is probably K- um, uh, Ford's Theatre, where L- Lincoln was shot, and then the Petersen House, where we filmed a...

We filmed a lot at Ford's Theatre and the Petersen House, and we were the only ones at the Petersen House.

You can see, you know, I mean, it's kind of a cool spot.

And the Peterson House also, which is where Lincoln actually died, which is right down the street.

Apparently, Donald Trump or the people around him think that it was named after President Jerry Ford.

I don't know.
