Despre activitate

This tour will take you minute by minute through the last day of the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.

-The White House - where Lincoln gave his final speech in the presence of his later assassin, John Wilkes Booth

-Home of Secretary of State Seward - who was attacked that night by a co-conspirator of Booth

-National Theatre - potential site of Booth's attack on Lincoln, but instead where his young son learned of the death of his father.

-Site of the Kirkwood House Hotel - where VP Andrew Johnson lived and an attack on him was planned.

-Ford's Theatre - the site of the assassination while watching a play. Travelers may opt to visit on their own. Tickets from NPS required.
