On the night of April 14, 1865, a single act at a downtown theater changed the course of the country. This tour retraces that night step by step, walking the streets of Civil War-era Washington, DC, and pointing out the historic homes and businesses tied to one of the most consequential nights in American history.
The route leads into the Ford's Theatre Museum to see rare artifacts from the assassination, followed by a guided look inside the theater itself and a ranger talk on the events of that night, before ending inside the Petersen House, where Lincoln was carried after the shooting and spent his final hours.
