assassination of our sixteenth president has fascinated Americans for 142
years.
On April 4, 1865, at about 10:15 pm, John Wilkes Booth opened the door to
the Ford's Theatre State Box and shot President Lincoln in the back of the
head, as he was seated next to his wife. It was the night that changed the
United States forever!
After struggling with Rathbone and stabbing him in the arm, the assassin
jumped about 12 feet to the stage below, snapped the fibula bone in his
left leg, then made his way across the stage in front of more than 1,000
people with Mrs. Lincoln's anguished screams echoing in the background.
Come along on this family friendly tour to meet the characters, walk the
