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)
