Description: John Wilkes Booth, the infamous assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, is buried in an unmarked grave in the Booth family plot at Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland. After being killed by Union soldiers on April 26, 1865, Booth's body was initially buried in a secret location to prevent his grave from becoming a shrine for Confederate sympathizers. In 1869, his remains were exhumed and reinterred in the family plot, but the exact location within the plot remains unmarked, adding an air of mystery and infamy to his final resting place. The Booth family plot is a site of historical significance, drawing visitors intrigued by the legacy of one of America's most notorious figures.
