President Lincoln reportedly made his last visit to the cottage on April 13, 1865, the day before his assassination. But he was not the last president to take advantage of the healthy breezes at the cottage. Rutherford B. Hayes spent the summers of 1877 to 1880 there. And Chester A. Arthur stayed at the cottage during renovations at the White House in the winter of 1882, and spent summers there as well.

President Abraham Lincoln would frequently retreat to his cottage in Fort Totten, where he upheld many of his presidential duties and even wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. The cottage, which sits on the property of the Armed Forces Retirement Home, opened in 2008 after a $15 million restoration project. Visitors can take self-guided tours through four permanent galleries and special exhibits, as well as take a guided tour of the cottage, according to the website. 2ff7e9595c
