- Exhibition Label
- This deathbed scene shows Abraham Lincoln inside the house of William Petersen, where he was carried after being shot in Ford’s Theatre, just across the street. The bedroom was small and would not have been capable of accommodating all of the visitors shown here. Rather, family members, doctors, and government officials trickled in and out as Lincoln lay unconscious. The president died at 7:22 a.m. on April 15, 1865.
