Drove past the "Assassin's End" historical marker on Highway 301. John Wilkes Booth died in the Richard Garrett's barn near where the marker is now placed. The site, BoothieBarn, has more here.
See the escape route map.
Tracking An Assassin (Washington Post) provided points of interest regarding the route, including the Cox residence (see below):
"....Rich Hill, the former home of wealthy Samuel Cox, who sent provisions to Booth and Herold when they hid in a nearby thicket for several days."
