Grave of John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln Assassin
It's a little out of the way of what you will be drawn to -- look at at the top of the hill or to the left! Head directly to the right as you enter and sign in. Follow the Cemetery Ave until you find Dogwood area.

Stop in the Green Mount cemetery office first to get a map. John Wilkes Booth is the biggest name buried here, but there are many other graves of interest. The tradition of leaving Lincoln head penny offerings is still as popular as ever.
[Mike Gassmann, 12/20/2017]For travelers interested in all things related to the Lincoln assassination (or the unfulfilled kidnapping conspiracy), Booth's comrades Samuel Arnold and Michael O'Laughlen are buried at Green Mount Cemetery as well. They can be found with a map given out at the office. Also interred in Baltimore is conspirator John Surratt, whose grave is at New Cathedral Cemetery six miles away.
