Abraham Lincoln Assassination Tour

Downtown Washington DC has many stories to tell, but none are more famous or tragic as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. More than 150 years ago one of the most famous presidents in the history of this nation was killed. This tour focuses on following the events of the night when a group of southern supporters decided to make a last stand for the Confederacy, trying to kill the President, Vice President and Secretary of State at the same time. During the tour, I will explain how difficult Lincoln's time was and how his presidency was marked by the Civil War, a major threat that caused the United States to fracture in two sides, how the civil war sparked the creation of paper money, and fostered the creation of the secret service. I will also show you iconic buildings located in downtown DC during the tour.

The tour lasts 2 hours, you can bring food and water, and it's not a long walk; you can wear any type of footwear.

Tours cost $55 USD per adult. Teenagers aged 10-16 pay $30 USD. Children under 9 are free. We offer special rates for groups of 5 or more.

We will meet at the benches in front of St. John’s Episcopal church 1525 H St NW, Washington, DC 20005. Getting there by taxi is very easy. Tell The Hay-Adams hotel and the church is in front of the hotel. If you arrive early, you can visit the bar "Off THE RECORD" in the basement of the hotel which is very famous for its decoration and political cartoons. It's not cheap, but it's definitely worth going to this bar once in your life. For public transportation there are two Metro stops nearby: McPherson Square and Farragut North. Walking is less than 5 minutes from either of these two metro stations.
