Overview

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

You will meet the conspirators who were desperately trying to save the Confederate cause in the dying days of the Civil War. There were to be three attacks that night. This tour unfolds as a storey filled with suspense, intrigue, and espionage.

Learn about and see:

-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 also attacked that night by a co-conspirator of Booh

-National Theatre - a 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 Vice President Andrew Johnson lived and an attack on him was planned that night.

-Ford's Theatre - the site of the assassination while watching a play in a full house.

-Peterson's Boarding House - where Lincoln took his final breath.
