Description: Surround yourself with sound as you walk the Civil War to Civil Rights: Downtown Heritage Trail through historic Penn Quarter. Cultural Tourism DC's audio tour adds the magic of sound and dramatization to the words and pictures of the trail's Center Loop. Relive dramatic events, including: * The night President Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theater * The hustle and bustle of the old Center Market * A riot following the attempted escape of 77 enslaved people * Clara Barton's search for thousands of missing Union soldiers * Thurgood Marshall's fight to desegregate American Institutions The self-guided audio tour starts at Sign 1, across Seventh Street from the National Archives, just south of Pennsylvania Avenue. Metro: Archives/Navy Memorial. From there you'll proceed north on Seventh to F Street, across F to 10th Street, and then south on 10th back to Pennsylvania Avenue.
