This tour builds its case for the Lincoln assassination story inside the old Patent Office Building, now home to the National Portrait Gallery, where the faces of the Civil War era set the stage for what's about to unfold outside. From there, it's out onto the streets to dissect the exact timeline and mechanics of April 14, 1865, right outside the doors where it happened.
The route follows John Wilkes Booth's escape down Baptist Alley, passes the site of the Star Saloon where he stopped for one last drink, and ends inside the Petersen House, the boarding house where Lincoln spent his final hours. It's a street-level investigation into the people, the plotting, and the places behind one of the most infamous nights in American history.
