I assume there are many relics there? Really the while whole is probably a relic!Yes - you sure won't regret it. The original couch where Booth sat to get his leg dressed, and a lot of others (the rest being contemporarly furnished). Authentic, very atmospherical. Breathing views from the window of the room where Booth and Harold slept. And due to it being such a secluded, idyllic place you can feel the original time and can imagine the happenings. The idyllic atmosphere has something threatening to it (like in "High Noon") and you almost expect desperados to appear on horseback. I suspect that the bedroom furniture belonged to the Mudds after the Civil War. That style is more reminiscent of the 1870s. For those of you who have not visited, their bedroom was supposedly a small room off of the downstairs dining room. I have questioned why, since their four children (in 1865) were housed in one room upstairs. I would think that Mrs. Mudd would want to be closer to her children if one got sick or fretful during the night. Perhaps they had a live-in nanny? But where was the nanny's room? Did she get rousted out of the front bedroom (which is normally the master bedroom) when Booth and Herold arrived? Did she share the children's bedroom with them? The only other room upstairs was supposedly Dr. Mudd's medical office. Was there a connecting door through the children's room to a room that was over today's gift shop? So many bodies and so few bedrooms! What on earth did they do after the war when Dr. and Mrs. Mudd produced five more children? |
