Perfect for history enthusiasts and curious explorers, this tour is guided by Rick Snider, who has a personal connection to the fateful night as a descendant of both John Wilkes Booth and Mary Surratt. Participants will gain insights into what drove Booth to commit such an act, and whether his motives were of a madman, a revengeful actor, or something more complex. The tour starts at Rathbone House, including sites like the White House and Seward’s House, and culminates with the dramatic flight of Booth down Baptist Alley. The route ensures travelers know where to commence and conclude their historical exploration, starting at the stately facade of Rathbone House and ending at the very alley that served as Booth’s escape route. Along the route, participants will stand before grand facades and venture through alleyways that echo the past. The tour offers a tapestry of sensory experiences that forge a timeless bridge to history, from the stoic pillars of the Treasury to the bustling scene at Ford's Theatre.
