SUMMARY:Lincoln Assassination Tour
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets Here!\nBack by popular demand! This is your chance to experience our one of a kind Lincoln Assassination Tour if you missed the Cemetery Speaker Series earlier this year. \nOn Friday\, April 14\, 1865\, President Abraham Lincoln was shot while watching a play at Ford’s Theatre. The assassin\, actor John Wilkes Booth\, jumped to the stage floor and fled. President Lincoln died as a result of his wound the following morning. With Booth’s escape\, the largest manhunt in American history ensued\, as law enforcement and military searched for the assassin. Aided by fellow conspirators such as David Herold\, Booth evaded authorities until Union Army soldiers located Booth at a Virginia farm. Surrounded\, Booth was shot and killed in that fateful confrontation. Eventually\, eight other conspirators were implicated in the conspiracy. After a trial by military tribunal\, four were imprisoned and four others\, including Herold\, were executed. \n \nThe story of the 16th president’s assassination is a well known one. Hundreds of books\, thousands of articles\, and dozens of special exhibits are just some of the ways this story has been told. But have you ever seen the story told using the graves of those involved with the assassination? Join one of Congressional Cemetery’s expert docents on a tour that does just that! \nTickets are only $10 and all proceeds go to benefitting our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. Please come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nThe event is rain or shine and you may meet the docent near our front gate. \nPurchase Tickets Here!
