Between Ford's Theater and the Lincoln Museum, be sure to stop at the Petersen Boarding House where President Lincoln was taken and later died the morning after he was shot.
The tours through the house are self-guided, but there are park rangers on-hand to give a brief informative talks, about once an hour. Although many of the original furnishings are not there any more, it has been restored to the times of the tragic event and has been labeled as a National Historic Site. Many say to stand in the bedroom where President Lincoln died is breathtaking.
