“The Conspirators That Fled North”
with Coby Treadway
Tuesday, May 18 @ 2:00 p.m.
Two men. An assassination plot. Escape attempts. With all the makings of a Hollywood plotline, hear the true stories—with local connections—of George Atzerodt and John Surrat. Join us as Coby Treadway, Education Coordinator at the Surratt House Museum, discusses these two men, their connections to the murder of President Abraham Lincoln, their ties to Montgomery County, and their eventual fates.
