Assassinations Capital: Presidential Crime Scenes Walking Tour

This tour is recommended for ages 14+.

Some of the most notorious crime scenes in DC are hidden in plain sight. Strolling from the Capitol to the White House, you’ll see the locations of four presidential assassination attempts (and talk about some of the attempts outside of DC). Your guide will share the motives, the manhunts, and crazy coincidences that might have changed history forever.

Hear the story of the first ever presidential assassination attempt, right on the Capitol steps.

We’ll walk part of the National Mall to talk about the assassination of James Garfield, which took place in the heart of DC!

See the exterior of the theater where John Wilkes Booth reshaped the nation’s history.

The “President’s Guest House” has a dark history – as we visit the outside, find out out why it became a shocking crime scene in 1950!
