Teacher Day 2 - We had an all day adventure entitled Manhunt: On the Trail of Lincoln’s Assassins. We followed in the footsteps of John Wilkes Booth starting on the day of Lincoln’s assassination until he was shot down himself.

Later we ventured out to see some of the monuments and memorials at night.

Teacher Day 1 - Close Up assumes that most teachers have been to Washington DC in the past so they offer other options for the Teacher Program to show us things off the beaten path. This week I will share some of that with you also.

Our first day was low key wandering the halls of some of the office buildings near the capitol and exploring Arlington National Cemetery.
