On the Set of Killing Lincoln

[L Verge]

Over the years, Surratt House has dealt with a variety of film crews from local news stations to Unsolved Mysteries, History Channel, A&E, Hunt for John Wilkes Booth, etc. It has been amazing to see the transformation in movie equipment over the years -- from lots of lighting, heavy tripods and cameras, wires running all over the place, etc. to practically nothing but a small camera perched on a shoulder.

We have also had wonderful experiences with the crews who have been at Surratt House. They have been very respectful of their surroundings, make sure that things are moved under our instructions and replaced exactly as they found them, and fun to be around, to joke with, etc. I have heard horror stories from other museums about film crews, but have never experienced it.
