Another great road trip! Thanks, Lauren! I’ve been in DC, but have never heard of this one. As a matter of fact, there are a lot I haven’t heard of! Good to get educated!

Will you be going on the recon adventure? :)

The Lincoln Assassins were tried and hung at Ft. McNair in 1865. But it was called “The Washington Arsenal” then, because there was a bullet making facility on the post. Also, the photo showing President Lincoln testing a Gatling Gun was taken on the post.
