I am a direct descendant of William A. Petersen of the Petersen House and registered with the National Archives.
My family still owns original photo of that day.
Donnie Pete...That's cool!
I asked Mr. James or whoever took this video above this comment to answer a simple question. So I'll paste it here for you to read. Being that you probably know all about the place, if anyone really does at the present time. There are 2 doorways into the room as I understand. Do either or both doors/entrance ways to this room seem shorter in height than a regular door might be as we are used to today? I won't bother explaining my question. You wouldn't understand. just saying.
@@hoozerob wow. Guess you will never get an answer to your question..
Its nice for someone like myself a history buff to see these places. I appreciate that you took the time to record and post. Just a little hint though. If you're going to show a picture on the wall or a printed sign take your time and le5 the viewer have a chance to read the sign and study the picture. Thanks
Dadai K I was going to make the same suggestion.
I was going to say, that is what the pause button is for; but the resolution is not good enough for that. So, I concur.
I was able to pause every time and it was clear. You just have to time it right.
Thank you for posting this important piece of history.
Strange that they've removed the actual bloodstained pillow from the bed. Guess I was lucky to see it some 40 years ago.
Adam Artis I saw it when I was there 5 years ago. It was powerful to see.
Maybe it's too gruesome for today? Maybe it's now in an airtight, perfectly moderated temperature and humidity case, in perfect light, to preserve it.
It's now on display at fords theater across the street
You can still see the chair at the Henry Ford museum in Michigan with his blood. The chair he was sitting in during the play.
WOW this was so amazing and you did a great job with it, thanks for sharing this I enjoyed watching it.
Very tastefully done. Thank you.
I visited that house back in 1983 when I was on leave from the US Army. Everything still looks the same. I also remember the "bland" wallpaper
Interesting
Amazing video! Congratulations for share this visit. I love it.
Excellent, thanks for sharing!
Poor Mrs. Lincoln. So much tragedy.
@pearlsnaredrummer77 Yes! Prozac and perhaps some antipsychotics? In so many ways, life was terrible back then. Death during childbirth was common. If you made it past that, your children likely died in youth. It certainly wasn't "the good old days" of myth.
@T L Townes Besides, it was common for people to share beds at that time.
I'm determined to go here someday.
I went to fords theater but couldn't get in the Peterson house since it was close for renovations at the time I went
Thanks for the upload. I didn't get a chance to stop by when I visited D.C. this July. Too much to see and do in only six days.
Thank you for the video. Truly interesting
Thank you for your documentation as President Lincoln was always my favorite president. He was instrumental in freeing the slaves and for this I will be forever grateful. He is more than just a profile on the copper penny, he stood for equality and justice. His writings are some of the greatest works in America's history.
Your camera went way too fast for us to really see things. Slow down please.
With everything going on in the world today Lincoln and Martin Luther King are among the best this country had Blessings peace✌️🍀♥️🙏👐😔😢♥️🇺🇸
I think you can make a very good case for Lincoln being our best president, as well as an equally good case for him being our worst President.
@@MrZola1234 why worst as well?
@@dingledoodles2615 read, "The real Lincoln". He had mental issues and fits of anger on his campaign trails, potentially executed an unnecessary war (the death of slavery was eminent) not worth 600k lives. Or, at least made it much worse by his lack of experience. The suspension of hapious corpus for those who spoke out against the war in the North. A very narcissistic man absessed with power.
Again this is just one way to look at him, certainly the more romantic American hero and great president is an alternative view as well...the truth is probably in the middle.
and both were killed by racist white men!
@@davidhammond1475 how observing!
Very interesting. Thank you.
My father and I installed the wallpaper in the Petersen a few years back. Pretty surreal sliding the bed Lincoln died in over so you can trim the corners.
I remember this house
I remember when I was in school we took a field trip to the Detroit Museum and viewed Abraham Lincoln's rocker, the same rocker he was in when he was shot by John Wilkes Booth. I remember my teacher asking if anyone would like to sit in the rocker, and I raised my hand. To this day I can still remember the feeling of sitting in the rocker, it was as if I was transcended back in time. The room shifted and I recall smells which weren't there before, and for a brief moment I saw people in period clothing. I never told my teacher, but my mother said I have gifts from God and to accept them and not to be afraid. My mother had the gift, both my great grandmother and grandmother had the gift, and I inherited the gift. In the 16th Century we probably would have been labeled as witches for we see and feel things others cannot.
Don't be silly. You never sat in the actual rocker Lincoln was shot in. A replica maybe, but the real one has never been available for the general public to sit in.
Yeah...as many students as wanted were able to ACTUALLY SIT in the chair Lincoln was shot in...and you were transported into time and space. "Ladies and Gentlemen....today on 'Things That Never Happened...' we'll be right back with Gloria." If that even happened, it was a replica, as Bob said. Sorry to be mean...but have you ever been to a museum? They don't just let people sit on priceless furniture or handle things.
@@Snapepet No, no, she saw people in period clothes. It must be true
Thank you!! Can’t travel,like being there!
It's hilarious that the pictures depict all those people in that room meanwhile there were only about five people in that room nobody else would fit😂
Thank you. This is a privelege for me.
I was there Memorial Day weekend when they held Hands Across America. A long time ago it seems.
Mr. James, or whomever took this video, starting in around 2:00 minutes in on this, I just want to know a quick bit of info. There are 2 doorways into the room as I understand. Do either or both doors/entrance ways to this room seem shorter in height than a regular door might be as we are used to today? I won't bother explaining my question. You wouldn't understand. just saying.
Actually former first lady Kenndey explained that in Whitehouse tour one door was direct leads to office so he can escape crowd outside his room
The actual bed was replaced. The original had a glass casing over the blood stained pillows. 1994 I was there in that very room with out the glass shield in place
The original bed is for some reason on display at the Chicago Historical Society.
Same here, I remember that.
I went here as a kid
Lincoln definitely helped African American people, before and after the civil war....👍
6:57 -- 4 conspirators were hanged, not 3.
Where are you seeing 3? 🤷♂️
I just watched a video dated in 2015 from the Lincoln Presidential Library, and they claim to have the actual bed he passed away in at the house. Wonder which one is the actual bed.
The Lincoln presidential library has the real one
Such house must be haunted
I remember visiting this house, and actually viewing a play at Fords Theater when I was in grade school in the mid 90's. I thought we saw the bloody pillow that Lincoln rested on, but that may have been at the Smithsonian?
Very sad.
What undertaker got Lincoln's body out of the room? Where did they take him for embalming?
Omg
Interesting place and video. Lincoln should have had security that night. 😑
Mr. Lincoln is interesting man to know.
aAMZING mY bRO dIED heRE
I thought he died in the oprah
9 hours afterwards
It was the Ford theatre, a live play was featuring.
I think we want to see it, cause they want to show it, and talk about it, and make us remember , make us want to know, to idolize death !!!!
I thouggt lincold from loud house
Ridiculous !! NO NARRATIVE. Perhaps not surprising : when I, a Lincoln scholar, visited here 30 years ago, I ended up being a de-facto and impromptu "tour guide", as the house provided none. Apparently they still can't. I know who was there, where they sat or stood, and who was said to be there, but actually wasn't. This narrationless film is useless, uninformative, and frankly insulting to Lincoln's memory and that of those devoted men and women who kept watch there that tragic night.
Rather harsh words, i am in south africa and it is a wonderful opportunity to see this for the first time.Be cool.
@@jeffbaxter8770 Yes, the words are DESERVEDLY harsh. If they can mount a video, they can provide the information to make it meaningful.
I liked it. I don't think it needed any narration at all. It's easier to sit with history in one's home than it is in a public space.
