Edwin Booth is buried at Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts if anyone is interested. I visited that cemetery many years ago. It's one of those nice garden-type Victorian cemeteries, and it's well kept. Longfellow is buried there. Julia Ward Howe and many others as well.

Find-a-Grave - Edwin Booth.

The rest of the family is buried in Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore. John Wilkes Booth is buried there but his burial is not noted on the family headstone.

Back in the late 80's, I became acquainted with an elderly couple who owned Tudor Hall, the ancestral home of the Booth family in Bel Air, Maryland. Junius Brutus Booth built the home, but he died before the family moved in. Back then it was a bed and breakfast. The Preservation Association for Tudor Hall was founded to help preserve the home, and encourage study of that period of history. Back then the couple, Dorothy and Howard Fox, held yearly Booth and Lincoln related conferences. When Dorothy, and then Howard passed without Wills, the house was taken over by the County, and the Association became defunct. I was lucky enough to stay at the home several times and attend the conferences they held.

Interesting! Has the home remain preserved in some way?
