About the Surratt Society

Founded in 1975, the Surratt Society began as a volunteer organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of history involving the Surratt House, the Surratt family, and life in mid-19th century Southern Maryland.  Over the years, the Surratt Society has expended its focus.  Today, the Surratt Society not only encourages research into the role the Surratt family and this historic site played in the events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.  It has become an international organization whose members have researched and written about people, places, and events that are connected in some way to the Lincoln assassination.
