Join us for a walking tour focusing on President Abraham Lincoln’s visit to City Point (present day Hopewell) in late March-early April of 1865. Why did President Lincoln visit City Point? Who did he meet with and what messages did he share that would impact the outcome of the war, and his ideas for post war America? Discover how President Lincoln’s actions at City Point would impact the outcome of the war, and how he expressed his ideas for post-war America.
