ps...Our second field trip of the year will be to Ford's Theatre in Wash DC to see the site of Lincoln's assassination and the home in which he died - the theatre is currently closed for renovations, but we can visit the Peterson house where Pres. Lincoln died, then take a bus tour of Booth's escape route through southern Maryland into Virginia - we will attempt to visit this incredible historical site near the anniversary of the event, sometime around April 14...Check out the cool site below...It provides info on the assassination as well as a virtual tour of the theatre and museum...Thought you might enjoy it...I will provide more details soon - any parents who wish to go who can drive are welcome - just let me know who may be interested...thanks!
