Booth was killed in which structure on Garrett's Farm?

• A. The main farmhouse.
• B. The corncrib.
• C. The wagon shed.
• D. The tobacco barn.

Answer: (D)

The event tests your recall of where Booth met his end during the pursuit after Lincoln's assassination. Booth and his companions hid at Garrett's Farm in Virginia, and the fatal confrontation occurred inside a tobacco barn on that property. A Union soldier shot Booth there, and he died in that barn. So the tobacco barn stands out because it’s a specific farm structure used for storing and curing tobacco, not a living space or everyday storage building. The other options—main farmhouse, corncrib, wagon shed—are common farm structures, but history pins Booth’s death to the tobacco barn.
