Activity itinerary

President Lincoln's Cottage

Travel to President Lincoln’s summer retreat, where he drafted the Emancipation Proclamation and found refuge from the pressures of war. Explore the surroundings and hear stories of his time spent there planning the nation’s future.

Howard University (Pass by)

As you return downtown, Tony will highlight Howard University, which during the Civil War era served as a Freedmen’s encampment. Imagine the anxiety among newly freed individuals as Confederate forces advanced toward the capital—and the hope and reassurance that came from seeing President Lincoln near their camp.

African American Civil War Memorial Museum (Pass by)

Pass by this powerful tribute to the United States Colored Troops. Across the street, the exterior statue of Lincoln at the African American Civil War Museum offers a moment to reflect on the president’s relationship with African American soldiers and the cause of freedom.

Lafayette Square
