Despite coming from very humble beginnings and facing enormous political challenges, a recent C-SPAN survey of historians ranked Abraham Lincoln our greatest President. In addition, his administration had a significant impact on local Washington, DC history.

The conclusion of our tour will include an overview of one of DCs most popular sites, the Lincoln Memorial.

Group discussion and debate are welcomed and encouraged! : )
