The note that was formerly on the post at Garretts and is present in Ed Steers' book is incorrect. A note from Bob Bergantino in the James O. Hall research papers attests to this fact. Bergantino goes on to state, "To find the approximate location of the place where Booth died, it is necessary to proceed almost exactly northeast about 25 feet or 9 to 10 paces."

Essentially you walk over the porch when you are taking the path into the small clearing. I show it in this video:

Thanks for the video Dave.

Love the pumpkins!
