Washington began the Civil War as a dusty, desolate place with legalized slavery. As the war ended and America mourned Lincoln;s assassination, it emerged as a national city.

You'll see many famous sites, including:
- Where Lincoln delivered his inaugural addresses with his killers in the audience.
- The theater and boarding house where Lincoln spent his last hours.
- The site of an office on the Underground Railroad.
- The hotel where northern and southern supporters came together.
You'll also see:
- The Pension Bureau/The National Building Museum

Your head will get stuffed with stories about the time of the Civil War, like the assasination of Lincoln, after a while, but certainly is interesting to listen to.
