Step back into one of the most dramatic nights in American history on this 2-hour walking tour following the final day of President Abraham Lincoln. Beginning at the former National Hotel at 6th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, guests learn about John Wilkes Booth’s movements on April 14, 1865, while standing outside the very hotel where he stayed in Room 253 and met with co-conspirators. From there, the tour follows Booth’s path along Pennsylvania Avenue toward 10th Street, retracing the route he took just hours before the assassination.

The experience continues with a stop at Ford's Theatre, where President Lincoln was shot while attending a play that evening.

The tour concludes across the street at Petersen House, the boarding house where Lincoln was carried after the shooting and where he died early the next morning on April 15, 1865. A visit of about 20–30 minutes offers a moving look at the room where the president spent his final hours, bringing a powerful close to this unforgettable journey through history.

Visit to the Lincoln Memorial, created to honor the legacy of President Abraham Lincoln and symbolizes his leadership in preserving the Union.
