The Gettysburg Civil War Round Table is sponsoring a one-day bus trip retracing the route John Wilkes Booth and David Herold took after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Seats on the bus are filling quickly, so make sure you get your reservation in soon if you want to go. Lunch is included. If I didn't already have a commitment that day, I would definitely go on this fascinating trip. Admissions are also included in the price, as well as tips.

When is it?

Todd,

This was a March 2008 blog entry; the trip was last May and the link is no longer valid. The CWRT is not repeating this trip in 2009, but the state of Maryland has an excellent driving tour you can do on your own that retraces the Booth escape route. There is a brochure / tour map available at most Maryland tourist places, or available on the Internet from the department of tourism.
