Watson Adventures' Lincoln Conspiracy Scavenger Hunt April 9, 2011

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, Watson Adventures will take you on a tour that reveals remnants and glimpses of Civil War–era New York. You'll use historic photos of Greenwich Village and the East Village and stand where the photographers stood as you track down time-traveling John Wilkes Booth. He's trying to assassinate candidate Lincoln before he delivers the speech at Cooper Union that, as history has shown, will win him the Republican nomination for president. Can you stop Booth before he rewrites history? All the way you'll have to pose as a Booth accomplice, interrogate a co-conspirator and crack a code. No previous knowledge about the Village or Lincoln is necessary.

Price: $24.50 per person. Advance purchase is required via http://www.watsonadventures.com. Questions? Call 877-9GO-HUNT.
