"The Petersen House was one of many similar, ordinary buildings on 10th Street during the Civil War. On April 15, 1865, the home became forever known as the 'House Where Lincoln Died.' Over the next six decades, three families occupied the building as a home, a business, and finally, as a museum. ... The house was then occupied by veteran Lincoln collector Osborn H. Oldroyd, who moved his array of objects from the Lincoln home in Springfield into the House Where Lincoln Died. For the next thirty-three years, it remained the only museum devoted to Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C. Oldroyd's collection was purchased by the U.S. government in 1926, moved across the street, and is today on display at Ford's Threatre. As for that 'ordinary' house on 10th Street? It survives as the spot where Abraham Lincoln began his journey to secular sainthood."--Back cover.
