Ford's theatre as not everyone knows is where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. So if you are in town it is well worth a visit. Tickets are not expensive but you may want to book as they get very busy in peak season. Across the road and included in the ticket price is the house where he passed and there is a lot more to see about the man and the memorials that followed his death. There is a unique stack of books all written about Lincoln

Awesome museum that tells about Lincoln's tenure in office, as well as the conspiracy to assassinate him. They have the original gun John Wilkes Booth used to take Lincoln's life on display, which was well preserved, and accompanied with a 3D rendering you can interact with to observe it up-close. You can view the Presidential box where the infamous shooting occurred, but only by peeking inside, you can not physically enter it. The theater itself is beautiful and must make for spectacular acoustics in live shows.

Been here twice, it’s a great experience. They have many of the original items from Lincoln’s time. After looking around and reading at the underground museum, they have you go to the room where Lincoln was shot. A ranger tells you the whole story, it’s always fascinating. After this section is done, they take you to Peterson House, where Lincoln died after being shot. Cool stuff to see here as well. Highly recommend this little history tour in DC.

The infrastructure of the Ford Theater is still intact, as if we were there over 200 years ago enjoying it. I must admit, that this is a very eerie theater to be in, knowing that a President was assassinated here centuries years back. However, it is an historical site and a piece of history that is beautiful and poignant. You can actually stare at the place where the President sat. It is certainly in great shape felt inside and outside and I'm sure it's kept this way for historical reasons. If you have the time to take a tour and see this glimpse of history, in the certainly worth it. It is amazing that the gun still exists that ended the life of our president. This place is kept alive with many decorations throughout the year and we should visit it to keep its memory intact.

Don’t miss this historical event that changed the world & experience the night that President Lincoln lost his life at The Historical Ford Theater. Free of charge, the tour starts in the actual theater where the assassination took place. Then go on a self guided tour down stairs to learn about both Lincoln & Booth as well as other historical facts. Take as long or as little time as you like, but once you leave you will have to pay to re-enter.
