The Peterson House is part of the Ford's Theatre National Historic site. Located directly across from the theatre, this is where President Abraham Lincoln was brought to after he was fatally shot on April 14, 1865. Doctors attending to the President said that he was too badly injured to move to a hospital or back to the White House, and this area was offered up to the President as a place where the doctors could do their best to attend to President Lincoln.

Visitors can only visit the Peterson house after obtaining a ticket to visit Ford's Theatre. Tickets are free but limited in quantity.
