Reviews of Surratt House Museum (Museum)

TJ McKnight

If a history buff this is a must. This is the house where John Wilkes Booth first stopped to pick up a rifle and ammunition after the assassination. Children would be bored to tears.

Gregory McNeill

Great tour guides. Excellent history.

Jazmine Sessoms

I took my kids (12F, 9F, and 9 month M). We had a great time. My father lives less than a mile away, so I decided we should visit. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. My family was the only group on the tour at the time and the guide kept it entertaining and informative. He answered all of our questions. If you like to learn about American history, this would be a great stop.

I’m a rehab therapist and I took a group of folks there today with disabilities and they did a great job accommodating us. The guide kept us entertained , the management treated us like friends and the house was decorated with great detail true to it’s history. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a professional tour tucked in an easy to get to location. I left wanting to know more about local history with books in hand. A gem!

Pam Johnson

Another great piece of history.

Nancy Moore

It's a interesting place to go to

Kellie Corcoran

Really great place to visit if you love civil war history. The tour guide was awesome and really seemed to know her stuff. She made the tour very interesting, and the work they've done in the tavern is impressive.

Historical tour site

Jeanne Ghrist

If you don't already know the entire story, then don't visit. Not much information given. A 'few' nice touches, but, no really worth the time to visit.

It was interesting, I learned a lot. I like that beat or guide was dressed in Century clothing

William Johnson

This was a nice stop. Learned some history and the tour guide was very nice and interactive with the group.

Kevin Anderson

What a great place to trace John Wilkes Booth and David Herold's escape route. Thanks to the terrific guide, I think her name was Lynn, you are transported back in time. A thorough tour of the house, information on the Surratt family as well as the time Booth spent here. Very inexpensive for the quality of the content given. Adult admission is five dollars. I would recommend anyone interested in American history to visit.

Joseph Ament

Great docent who told a fascinating story focused on Mary suratt and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Michael Sima

Limited hours but just walking around outside is still fun and informational.

Roy Van overbeek

Really fun place. And the tour was really awesome. For all ages and the tour guide stayed in her role the entire duration of the tour

gloria horton

Great lecture...slavery among catholics!..home of dr.mutt...treaed john boot!

James Surratt

Correction. The photo is the house south of the real Surratt Tavern. I had to tap on the arrows to get to the correct building.

Jennifer Greenslit

We’ve visited twice this summer, and we’ve gotten very different talks by the docents each time, which was a little surprising. I would have expected a more standard talk that takes care to cover the same key facts. But the guides were very personable, and the house is interesting, particularly the uninsulated room above the kitchen that was apparently the bedroom for one or more slaves at the house.

Deb Forespring

A very interesting, informative and enjoyable tour.

Peter W. Santa-Maria Sr.

Surreal

Teresa M

Historical place nestled on a busy street in Upper Marlboro Md. Learned a lot about the events and people who plotted to assignate President Lincoln. Worth the trip. Awesome experience.

Lisa Youngson

Very intetesting!

Bobbi Booker

Another branch of history restored to the tree of knowledge

Dwayne Dixon

We visited just in time to take a tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about the house and the history of the people linked to the house. Worth the 5 dollars to take the tour.

Rebecca Larson

Great history!

You, Me and Sweetpea

Tour guide was very knowledgable! He took his time, and had information on other things in the house as well. I found out a lot more than I had heard before. There is a very small gift shop. Only complaint was there was only one bathroom to be used for both men and women.

jim hensley

Easy access and interesting

Mike Stine

Nice

Lorraine Treanor

The Mary Surratt House is beautifully preserved and furnished with many exquisite period pieces. Did you know the Surratt Tavern and public room were once the popular gathering place for Confederate sympathizers in Prince George's County?. We had a docent who was wonderfully well-informed and full of arcane details about the home and Mary Surratt which she spun out in a fascinating way. This is a first-rate way to spend a couple of hours of a fall afternoon.

Desiree Lyons

Don't go on a cold day. Inexpensive for the whole family to enjoy. They gave away books so you could further your knowledge. People were extremely nice.

Gregory Smith

They run tours on the hour so plan accordingly. The docents are dressed in period attire and are very knowledgeable.
