Sharma allegedly gained entry to the rear of the Mary Todd Lincoln House by entering through a gated, enclosed fenced-in area.

He was arrested and booked at the Fayette County Detention Center. He’s charged with menacing, second-degree criminal trespassing, and second-degree attempted arson, jail records show.

Sharma’s motivation for wanting to burn down the house is not clear.

The house, which now serves as a museum, was built between 1803 and 1806, according to the Mary Todd Lincoln House website.

 Mary Todd Lincoln, who was born in 1818, and her family moved into the house in 1832. She lived there until she left in 1839 to live with her sister in Springfield, Illinois where she would meet her future husband and 16th US President Abraham Lincoln.

She brought her husband to visit her family at the Lexington home in 1847.
