About The Event

Join Unscripted’s Lincoln Assassination Tour for a guided experience as you explore the events that changed the history of a nation on the night a US president was assassinated for the first time.

Follow in the footsteps of John Wilkes Booth on the day of April 14, 1865, while learning about life in Washington, DC during the Civil War.
Tour downtown Washington, DC and see the locations where historic homes and business from the era once stood, and some still do. Explore Ford’s Theatre and see artifacts from the era. Visit the actual room where Lincoln died in the Petersen house.

Please note that Ford’s Theatre is closed for visitors May 28 through August 31 2026 for repairs. During this time no entry to Ford’s will be possible. Tour will still visit Petersen House and Aftermaths Museum.
