Booth at Lincoln's Second Inauguration

[jonathan]

Another thing to consider is maybe skipping the ranger talk. That's what I did when I was there a few months ago. I went ahead and fought the crowd in the museum, went into the theater with the others and browsed around chatting and taking some pictures. Then when the crowd was getting settled in for the ranger talk, I went on across the street where I had the Petersen House all to myself and only light competition in the Learning Center. The main reason I did this was because I assumed that most of what the ranger had to say would be things I already knew. That may or may not be true, but it worked out really well. Somebody who knows little or nothing about the assassination obviously should not go this route.
