Description

"To be or not to be, that is the question."

Abraham Lincoln attended no less than 54 total theatrical performances in Washington, DC while he was President. Join a Park Ranger for an interactive walking tour of 1860s theatres around the Ford's Theatre neighborhood. Experience what Lincoln saw, heard, and wrote through exploring a handful of performances.  Meet outside Ford's Theatre on 10th Street, NW. Walking distance will be less than 1 mile.

Plan like a park ranger! Wear comfortable shoes. Bring water and sunscreen.
