History

Tragically, Mary Todd witnessed the assassination of her husband on April 14, 1865, at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. This event had a profound and lasting impact on her mental health. She struggled with grief, depression, and erratic behavior, leading to strained relationships with her surviving son, Robert Todd Lincoln, and others close to her.
