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.
This all-day tour will take you to some of the area's most popular monuments and museums, such as National Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian Institute, the Capitol Building, the FBI Building, and the Library of Congress among various other stops along the tour.
