Description
Washington began the Civil War as a dusty, desolate place with legalized slavery. As the war ended and America mourned Lincoln’s assassination, it emerged as a national city. We’ll walk you through this transformation in this two-hour tour, starting at the U.S. Capitol and ending at The White House.
Among other sites, you’ll see:
•
Where Lincoln delivered his inaugural addresses with his killers in the audience.
•
The theater and boarding house where Lincoln spent his last hours.
•
The site of an office on the Underground Railroad.
•
The hotel where northern and southern supporters came together.
You'll also see
•
The Pension Bureau/The National Building Museum
•
The General Ulysses Grant Memorial
•
The General William T. Sherman Memorial
•
The site where Andrew Johnson was to be assassinated and later was sworn into office.
•
Architecture from the Civil War period
•
Blair House, where Robert E. Lee was offered command of the Union Army as the war began.
•
Clara Barton's office
•
Lafayette Park and the site of the attempted assassination of Lincoln's Secretary of State
•
The White House
And much more!
