Special Tour The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
Walking Tour
One hundred forty-three years after President Lincoln was assassinated, take a walk that commemorates one of the saddest moments in American history. From the White House, where Lincoln gave his last speech, to the posh Lafayette Square homes of the army major who struggled with the assassin and the secretary of state who was stabbed by a co-conspirator, the walk continues to the replica of the church where Lincoln worshipped. Author Anthony S. Pitch leads this two-hour anecdotal history walk based on his new book, They Have Killed Papa Dead! The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
