Ford's Theatre


Lincoln's Assassination Site
 511 10th Street North West
Washington DC 20004
+1 202 347 4833 (tickets)
http://www.fordstheatre.org 		The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln here on April 14, 1865, overshadowed this theater for most of its history. Ford's opened just four years before that fateful night. Restored to its 1865 appearance, Ford's is again a showcase for plays. The basement-level Lincoln Museum displays artifacts from the assassination, including the gun John Wilkes Booth used to kill Lincoln. Mementos from Lincoln's life are also on display. National Park Service rangers give talks 15 minutes after the hour. Across the street is Petersen House, the house where Lincoln died. See website for performance schedule.
