Some stories don’t live in museums — they live on the streets where they happened. This small-group walking tour takes you to the very corners of Washington DC where one of the most dramatic nights in American history unfolded, and it brings every detail back to life.
You will visit Ford’s Theatre, where Abraham Lincoln was shot on the night of April 14, 1865, and the Petersen House across the street, where he died the next morning. Along the way you will stand in the boarding house where the conspiracy was planned and in Baptist Alley, where John Wilkes Booth’s horse was waiting — hidden corners most visitors walk right past.
The tour is led by an expert guide and inspired by the series Manhunt, so the story comes alive with the hidden details and backstage insights that make history unforgettable. With a perfect 5-star rating from happy travelers, this is one of the most talked-about ways to experience the capital after dark falls on memory.
Tours run in small groups and the price starts at about $59 per person, a wonderful value for an evening that turns a history lesson into a living story.
