LOVELY! The staff and park rangers are so friendly and informative. This is one of the more lesser known things to do in DC and I highly recommend. They have awesome artifacts and the theater is a great visit. I recommend buying your tickets ahead of time (which are remarkably cheap). Across the street is the Lincoln book tower thats easy to miss.

For $3, its a very fair bargain. The museum below the theater has nice exhibits and its interesting to see the theater. You should know, though, that almost everything (and possibly everything) you see in the theater is a reproduction, made well after President Lincoln was shot here. Lets say (and hope) its a faithful replica.

Awesome experience. Wish the box where Lincoln died was open to visitors and Petersen House was closed...but I understand with COVID...still worth it.

We have visited Ford’s theatre a few times now and I always find something new to see there. Each of the park rangers give a fun and unique talk in the theater, try and catch that if you can. It is also geared with stuff for kids and adults.

What a good presentation of the life of Lincoln. Amazing artifacts!

Just had a great visit earlier today. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The theatre has taken all the necessary steps/precautions/measures for covid safety. Please support the theatre and its staff by visiting! A+++++

Great museum and historic site. The staff was very helpful and they took lots of COVID precautions. They only let people in with advanced tickets on the hour and they only let you in 45 min.! That was not enough time to go through I thought. They should let people stream through all day instead of forcing them through super fast in big groups.

Had a great time watching My American Cousin, really great play. During the showing some lady screamed from a booth above me, and I heard a gunshot sound, but didnt see a prop on stage.Just saying the backstage workers shouldnt use sound affects when not appropriate. 3/5 experience.

This is a great place to go check out while in DC. Its not right there near the main monuments but only a few blocks away from the White House on 10th ST NW.Here are some key notes to take away from it:- Its free to get into since its part of the National Parks.- You will need to enter on the side in-between J. Crew and Hard Rock Cafe to get your free tickets. You need to get the tickets in order to enter.- There is a gift shop on your left when you first your walk in.- The ticket stand is right behind the gift shop, the tickets are good for the theater and the Petersen House across the street.- The stamp for the National Park passport book is at the same place you get your tickets from, each window should have a stamp. There is also a stamp for the Petersen House across the street.- The theater is a self pace walk through but you can get an audio guide to listen while walking around.- Not the best place to take strollers due to the stairs you have to climb throughout the theater.- May not be the best for younger kids due to all the reading, not much entertainment for them.- They do have a few quick History channel clips shown throughout the first section of the tour.- There is so much to see and read while youre there so take your time.- A gift shop is located at the end of the Petersen House.- National Park Rangers are located throughout the theater and house for any questions you may have.- The theater is still an active performing theater.

This is an absolute must visit historical landmark. The rangers were very friendly and knowledgeable.

If you are into history involving Abraham Lincoln, this location has to be on your bucket list. We were not there for a performance; however, we did go for the tour and just loved the information and history that was presented. Be prepared to spend some time here as there is a museum in the basement, and you can go across the street to the Petersen House as well. We did a full review on our blog site and YouTube channel.

Cool historic site! Good museum, not very large, but still a good time. Exhibits walk you through the entirety of Lincolns presidency including the civil war and his assassination. There were quite a few historic items too. I also got the audio tour which does a good job of explaining each of the stops throughout the museum. Also make sure to stop across the street to finish up the tour and see the house where Lincoln was brought after being shot and ultimately died.

Well preserved piece of history. Sad day in time, but such a well explained historical account. Covers history before, during, and after the assassination.If you have time, do the audio tour. Much, much more information, will narrated.

Visiting this place was so cool. Inside there is an amazing museum about Abraham Lincoln and his life. While there we also listened to the presentation put on in the theatre itself. It was so interesting to learn all about the assassination, and even cooler to see the theater where it took place.

The museum and inside was closed, but still interesting seeing the outside and the house across the street where President Lincoln died.

This place is a part of US history. If you are interested in history, do not miss this place because one of the most important events in US history, took place here. It is the theater that Abraham Lincoln was assasinated during watching a play. First of all, it is free to visit this place, but the visiting is based on first come first serve basis. If you are visiting during a trip and want to assure your visitation, you can pay a $3 per person fee, to schedule your visit and ensure you will be inside in your desired time.Roughly I can say there are three distinct sections in this place. First part of the visit is a museum in the lower level from the things that are related directly and indirectly to Abraham Lincolns terror. You can find things like the pistol used for shooting Lincoln, some of his personal stuff and some of the stuff used by killers for fleeing, or by law men to arrest them.Then you will go to the Fords theater itself. You can take great images from very close distant from the place that he was shot. To the best of my knowledge, they keep this place as intact as possible from that time.The last part of your visit is a home in the other side of the street, where Lincoln was moved to its first floor after shooting and stayed alive for 8 hours. You can find the bed he was laid and you can see his blood stain on it. Two other floors of this home is a museum showing the efforts for finding and arresting shooter and other contributors to his terror as well as images and reports from Lincolns funeral in different states. At last there is a very large monument made up of the model books which are related in any way to Abraham Lincolns life, death or any other aspects of his life. It totally takes one to two hours to visit all sections.Last but not least, if you are planning to visit this place, schedule it with Madame Tussauds museum in a same day, since they are too close to each other, maybe only 5 minutes walking.

Awesome. You cant get into everywhere because of covid, but it was still really neat. Had a great time

Very eerie feeling as you explore where President Lincoln was shot. The theatre is still in operation, sometimes closed to tourists for performance rehearsals.There is quite an exhibit underneath the theatre that is entertaining if you spend some time within.Also be sure to check out the house across the street; this is where Lincoln would come to take his final breaths early the morning after being shot.

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.

Fords 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

Aside from the tragic history of the theater, this is a nice venue to see a stage play or musical. It will seem small to those used to larger spaces but the feel and look closely retains the period of Lincoln. I always make it a point to look up to the box where Lincoln was shot to remind myself of the rich history of the place and look around imagining how many people have watched performances here. As can be seen in the photo, there are minor obstructed views from the support beams. Still a wonderful place to see the arts performed.

Old and historic theater, but if youre a president, you may want to bring a body guard.

Fun historical place. a great place to stop and check out if you are in d.c. and a piece of preserved history. and has a great gift shop.

Really cool to learn the history of the place abraham lincoln was shot

Phenomenal historic theatre. Not a bad seat or view in the house. Visiting Fords theatre is a two for one opportunity. #1 a historic venue, #2 Always a quality theatrical performance.

This is an awesome exhibit and very informative. Our park ranger was superb in his rendition of the history.

Incredible historical location of where President Abraham Lincoln was shot and later died across the street. Tickets are free and include access to the Fords Theatre where you can see the actual gun used as well as access the theatre where Lincoln was shot. Across the street is where they moved Lincoln after being shot where he died the next day April 15, 1865 at 7:22 am. This is a must visit location when in Washington D.C. and was by far our favorite historical site.

Fascinating and riveting! We spent several hours there with the exceptional displays. I never knew there were other accomplices in the plot to remove President Lincoln. The poor stagehand who was dragged into the event by just holding JWBooths horse! ( He was later pardoned).Visit the museum and allow several hours to take in all the displays. A great afternoon!

Loved this play and the theater was really nice. Had up to date seating, bathrooms and a great little cafe for snacks and drinks. Check out a production here. Youll be glad you did!

An absolutely wonderful museum to tour, learn the legacy of Lincoln, and what drove Booth to commit the assassination. Staff were wonderful, the various displays and artifacts were meaningful, well done, including the .44 caliber pistol that Booth used to assassinate Lincoln. An elevator allows for those with mobility issues to transit to the basement as well as upstairs. The home in which Lincoln passed away is directly across the street, and inclusive of the tour. Operated by the National Parks Service, using your National Parks Access Pass does not work here as admission is free for most tours unless a special event. Much to learn from here, a wonderful tour for all ages. Generally packed tours, can be crowded at times, so patience is important. Get your tickets ahead of time, then wait outside to line up for entrance into the museum as no waiting is allowed indoors since it is such a small lobby, and they handle so many visitors each day. I definitely will be back for another visit in the future!

Fords Theatre is a wonderful place to both tour and see a performance. Last year (2019) we went to see 12 Angry Men and it was one of the best stage performances I have ever seen. The actors were emotional and flawless in their performance. I am looking forward to seeing Silent Sky (Feb. 2020). In the basement of the theater is a small and very informative museum. The museum pays respect to Lincoln but also discusses the events leading up to his assassination. This museum is free if you are attending a performance or you can schedule a time to do a stand alone tour.

So I walked in and expected to look around. Evidently a show was going on and I happen to hit it at intermission. They let me look around and take pictures even though I didn’t have a ticket. Very great staff.

Outstanding, the history of the place has you reflect about how this changed us as a nation.

Watched a most captivating performance of the musical A Christmas Carol at the Fords Theatre. The performance was excellent, and so was the Theatre. It is a smaller theater but because of that the seating allowed us to get a great view of the stage even though it was a side row (seats G6,8). And of course its historical - the venue of Lincolns assassination.

LOVED seeing a performance in the historic Ford’s Theater! It was inspiring to spend a little time here. Be sure to visit the museum downstairs and the historic Peterson house and “aftermath” exhibits across the street. Walk in admission is free, but during busy seasons consider spending $3 online to guarantee timely admission.

A buddy of mine got shot here a while back. Cool plays but wouldn’t recommend.

Absolutely spooky place to be. The actual place where Lincoln was shot.This is actually still a real theater. They host shows. For instance, into the woods is playing right now. It’s a small theater by comparison to others but I think it lends to its charm. There is a museum on the basement area I believe. You can get audio devices to get more detail and it creates the atmosphere to understand Lincoln’s life and trials and tribulations.From there you go to the theater and get to see the actual balcony. I could almost see it play out. That or maybe the national treasure movie plays out in my head. But still it’s amazing place. To think just next door he died.I’d recommend trying to see a show of you can to increase the experience.

Wonderful self guide tour of Fords Theater and Peterson House. Tickets are $3,00 at the box office or online. Historical site that is highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Ford’s Theatre and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about the assassination of President Lincoln and his final hours. The Park Rangers and guides were quite friendly and seemed very knowledgeable! We especially enjoyed touring the museum across the street and wish we’d had more time to explore it further but we will be back!

Must see! I almost missed this hidden treasure. My hotel was right around the corner and I walked passed this place several times a day. On my last day, I decided to take a look and I’ll always be glad I did! The exhibits, films, and story telling takes you back to the time and the mood of the day. You can easily walk through without an audio tour in less than 30 mins, including walking across the street to the Peterson house where Lincoln died. But, you’ll find something compelling and you’ll want to stay longer.

Couldnt go inside due to COVID but enjoy checking out exterior.

This is the place where our 16th President was shot behind his left ear while attending the play Our American Cousin. He was quickly taken across the street to William Petersons boarding house where he succumbed to his injury early the next morning.I highly recommend going to both places to learn about that fateful night and the legacy of Abraham Lincoln.

What an amazing place, we had no idea you could tour here. So much history and knowledge to gain from a visit here

Great local history! Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Fords Theater. Gift shop, concessions, rest rooms, elevator. Be sure to go to the balcony, and stay for the presentation at orchestra level in the theater. Lots to look at in the museum. We did not venture to Petersen House due to poor weather and stairs. Takes you back to elementary school history!

This was my daughters favorite part of our trip to DC. The museum is exceptionally well done. They give you plenty of time to explore the museum before going to see the actual theater and Petersen house across the street. The rangers were friendly and knowledgeable. They were eager to answer any questions we had. Make sure to get a ticket ahead of time because the tours fill up.

There was a very loud gunshot followed by screaming right in the middle of the play and then a big black top hat fell off the top row onto my seat. very disruptive.

Great historical building. The gun used to kill Lincoln is on view. Recommend staying for the ranger presentation in the Theater and get advance tickets that include the Peterson House to see the bed Lincoln actual died on. Very cool tour.

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.

Museum section in the basement was very well done, but we felt rushed through it as to not miss the presentation. Presentation was humorous and very well done, suitable for people of all ages, would highly recommend it. Very interesting to see the presidential booth where Lincoln was shot. Would also recommend going across the street to the house where Lincoln actually died, theres a small exhibit in there and entry is free of charge with the original ticket (which is also free!). Only downside is waiting to get in the house across the street there usually is a line, they allow 15 people in every 5 mins. But still recommended highly.

A piece of american history, preserving ants showcasing many of the items and facts regarding President Lincolns final hours. Docents and park staff offer a wealth of insight. Come prepared to wait an hour in line for the free tickets or you can get reserved tickets for$3 each online. Park included both the Fords Theater as well as the boarding house where Lincoln actually died. A worthwhile 3-4 hour outing for civil war era history or Lincoln fans.

We loved visiting Fords Theater. Tickets are free but you can give a donation and theres a lot to see. Mini museum in basement, tour of the theater and balcony where Lincoln was shot. Across the street you visit the boarding house where Lincoln died. Fun historical stop. And if youre hungry, eat at the Waffle House next to boarding house. Great food!

Cute museum, fantastic history. Dont expect to spend a lot of time but it is a good way to start or end a day as it is right by the Metro Center station.

Definitely a blessing and honor to visit this historic site. The rangers are helpful to answer any questions and share facts and stories. Pres. Lincoln’s legacy has been kept alive and it really moves you when you see the site. MAKE SURE you visit the “house where Pres. Lincoln died” right across the street.

Very Cool! This place is amazing! They provide an audio phone to listen to as you walk around. Then at the end of the tour. You see the President s booth where he was shot. A definite must in the DC area. Its so much information I would go on the tour twice.

Seeing Fords Theatre was a highlight of our weeklong DC tour! The actors retelling of the week leading up to Lincolns assassination including that fateful night was insightful and moving. I have a much better understanding and appreciation of that history. Well done!

The museum downstairs is very interesting and well worth a visit. The theater has been beautifully replicated.

Great theater in the heart of DC. Small and definitely a throwback to not everyone wearing microphones and electronic everything.A theater where actors have to project or you have to listen more.And its historic so...

Its a small theater to be sure. Cozy is the word. The staff are all nice and the players are all pros. Good job. Ill definitely be back.

Awe inspiring, powerful, emotional. To hear about the president is one thing; to stand where he was actually shot is a totally different thing. The museum was captivating and informative. The balcony and theater were surreal; they took me back in time. What an experience. An absolute must-do or must-see if you are in the DC area.

Wonderful experience. Outstanding production of A Christmas Carol. The Civil War Museum is fascinating

Beautiful theatre and museum. We very much enjoyed our tour, as well as the Petersen House. My 7 year old daughter learned much history, and enjoyed it.

The theater tour is always great and they have just reopened the Peterson House (where Lincoln died) across the street after it was closed for months of renovations. It looks great! Amazing, amazing history right in the middle of one of the most vibrant areas in D.C. Do yourself a favor and go, and donate to the foundation at the end!

Historically important place to visit. Photos by : Mark Maker Productions

Absolutely gorgeous place with very kind and helpful staff. Im not a theater lover but this was definitely a great experience!!

Wow! Museum is awesome and educational. Interestingly, because of the nature of the crime and subsequent investigations the artifacts presented are very complete and well documented. Was fortunate to view inside the presidential box during my visit, but was told it isnt always accessible. Plenty of knowledge to be gained from these exhibits.

The play was fabulous. Funny, informative, heartwarming, uplifting. My daughter and I thouroughly enjoyed it and talked on the way home about how she could do anything but would have to work hard. The museum was great too. We were able to tour part of it before the show.

Being in a historic place, knowing the history. Before the show we went through the museum below the theater. The theater was very old fashion and the seats were on the small side. But we werent uncomfortable. All in all, we are glad to have gone to Fords Theater.

Went to tour the museum, saw the short two man play, One Destiny, and went through the Peterson House across from the theater where Lincoln actually passed away the morning after he was shot. We had a very good day and learned a lot about Lincoln and the events that unfolded the day he was assassinated. I highly recommend taking the time to tour the museum and theater.

Quite the mindblowing experience getting to tour this place. You can really feel the history there all the way to the back of your head. They also seem to still host performances, Ive heard the experience is banger. In all, people have definitely had their mind blown away at this theater.

Beautiful and well preserved piece of American History. One of my favorites.

Terrible place, my husband got shot in the head by one of the actors. Terrible security, Im never coming here again.

Really enjoyed the presentation. The US Park Ranger who lead the presentation inside the actually theater know the subject concerning Lincolns assassination very well, plus presented the info in an enjoyable style that welcomed questions and and answered all of them. A your well worth the time.

A Christmas Carol is one of our cherished family traditions and I have to say this years performance was the best in a few years. Craig Wallaces Scrooge has now reached perfection and I hope he continues in the role for many years. As a bonus, we mistakenly got there way early and were told about the museum in the basement, which wed never even heard of. With our daughter just reaching the Civil War in her history class, she was thrilled to see this, especially the actual gun the killed Lincoln! This place is wonderful.

Friendliest employee in town by the name of Barbara. She was excellent and made this stop one to remember! I will definitely come visit this place again when I return.

Fine historical place that documents the last place Americas great President Abraham Lincoln was alive. Theatre still finely intact as it was on that fateful day of April 15, 1865.

The museum downstairs was a little bit convoluted however, it had an amazing amount of info. My kids and I enjoyed it and we were lucky enough to see inside Lincolns theater box. There was no wait and everyone was friendly and helpful. Will visit again and recommend to anyone.

An indescribable place in our countrys history. Remarkably preserved and treated with the respect such a historic location deserves. The Park Rangers description of events that led up to the events of that fateful night were enlightening. The museum is complete with Booths deringer, the boot that was cut-off from his shattered ankle and a pillow that was used to support President Lincolns head as he slowly succumbed to death. A must see.

So this is a must do while in DC. I mean, this is where one of the greatest US presidents passed away. The museum they have takes you through the history of the civil war and how Lincoln and his cabinet navigated the hard times they faced. They also have amazing artifacts from the night of the murder, including the actual gun that was used by J.W. Booth. The theatre itself isn’t original but it has been reconstructed to look like it did back in the day.

Beautiful intimate venue. We sat in the back of the orchestra section and still had a great view of the stage. A well done production of Silent Sky.

Make sure you go and see a play here! We saw A Christmas Carol and it was wonderful. The audio effects and special effects were superb! What made this even better was the history of Fords Theatre. Its a very somber experience, soaking in all of the history of this theatre. But, its so important to know and understand that history; our history. (Note: some of the balcony seats have an obstructed view due to the load-bearing pillars. You can look around them, but being in front of them is best.)

Interesting variety of shows and very high quality. Pillars cause some problems with visibility, so be careful about seat selection. Your ticket includes entry into the museum prior to the show, highly recommended.

Make sure you budget at least a few hours for your trip to this theater. Beneath the theater itself is a museum full of artifacts from the Lincoln era, including pictures of the White House, dishware and furniture, a timeline of Lincolns presidency, the Assassins pistol, and a lot more. then after the museum in the lower level you make your way up to the theater to see the booth where Lincoln was sitting when he was shot. That isnt all though. Your ticket also buys you admission to the house across the street where Lincoln died as well as several further levels worth of Museum. If you feel so inclined you can even purchase a ticket to see a show in the theater. But you better do that well ahead of time if you intend to do so. Tickets sell out over a month in advance. If you get the chance, go to the presentation by the park ranger. Theyre full of interesting information.

We recently visited Washington D.C. and one of the most interesting attractions seen during the week was the Ford Theatre Museum.The Ford Theatre Museum is a downstairs exhibition hall, just below the actual theatre, where Lincoln was assassinated. Displays are modern, informative and do a nice job providing context around Abraham Lincoln - the person and President as well as building up the events that led to his assassination.There are quite a few historic artefacts that are combined with well-presented information to create a very good specialty museum experience for anyone interested in learning about President Abraham Lincoln. Recommended time for the collection is 30-45 minutes. We ended up spending over an hour reading through all the displays and looking at the various exhibitions.As part of the visit, you are invited to the actual theatre to listen to a talk, given by a National Parks Ranger, who tells how events unfolded on night of the assassination. We found this talk to be quite good and just the right amount of time. It was nice seeing the actual theatre as well as the booth where Lincoln was seated on the evening as well.In the end, we considered the Ford Theatre museum to be very good and well worth considering if you are a fan of President Abraham Lincoln or even just a person interested in history figures. After your visit you can also walk across the street and visit the Peterson House, where Lincoln was taken after being shot and where he died.Hint: You can reserve tickets (free entry) online and this is advisable if you want to visit during normal daytime hours, weekends and during peak times of the year. We visited midweek, first thing and had no trouble picking up walk-in tickets. However, it was very full shortly after due to the arrival of a few decent sized tour groups. As such, we would simply recommend to book in advance if this is a high priority for you during your time in Washington D.C.Hint: There are similar period exhibitions at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History which complement if not overlap what you will see at the Ford Theatre Museum. If you plan to visit both, we might suggest visiting the Ford Theatre first so you can see the actual theatre and artefacts here before visiting the much larger Smithsonian and its exhibitions which include this time period in American History.

Known historically as the scenes of President Lincoln assassination, the theater is a small yet elegant, cozy and fully operational center for performance arts that still put on some great shows. Ticket tours of the theater as a museum/US historical landmark (including the house across the streets where Lincoln passed away) is free of charge. Dont forget to pester the distinguished gray-haired gent, the Chief and historical guru sitting in the back row (velvet burgundy hat!) with all sorts of questions about this sad chapter in US history.

Tickets for this venue are very inexpensive. We bought the audio tour and it was worth every penny. We were even able to go back to the museum after the theater tour to finish our audio stops. Staff were very friendly and accomodating.

Very educational and beautiful!

You cant miss getting caught up in the history of this place.

Youll get chills. So wonderful to see. So much history in one building!

Man, this place is incredible. My dad and I took a trip to DC and had always talked about visiting Ford Theatre. It was our very last stop and ended up being our absolute favorite! The tour is the perfect amount of self-guided + informative guide led. It took a couple hours to go through. (I think my dad wouldve stayed longer, but 2 hours is my limit!) If you go, be sure to cross the street & see the building Lincoln was taken to after the shooting.If youre at all interested in American history, you will not regret visiting!

Awesome experience to not just visit but to attend a performance of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. The museum was educational and not too long. The theatre is beautiful. You can see and feel the history as you walk through. There is nothing better than being able to experience history for yourself. The only warning I would give is that the theatre seats are lacking in leg room so be prepared by getting an aisle seat if you can. I am 61.

My cousin and I saw “Come From Away” here. As a lover of history and of Lincoln, watching this play just about ten feet away from the last moments of Lincoln’s momentous life felt so special and wonderful. If you are reserving tickets online, try to get seats right next to the Presidential box to get a vantage point close to Lincoln’s. Lincoln was so happy to get away to the theater that night, right after victory in the Civil War was secured. You can feel this joy, even though it is where he spent his last conscious moments. What a fantastic intersection — a magical nexus of American history, wonderful performing arts, and the last moments of a life of an inspiring human being who rose up and guided our country during its darkest days. One of my greatest experiences.

Truly remarkable! Do you experience the Rangers story and explanation of this tragic day in history that took place here is awesome! The theater is beautiful! The Peterson house across the street is a definite must do along with Ford’s theater, To truly experience the whole thing.

Never been... & as of now still havent! This Darn Pandemic still has sooo many things closed. If you are heading to DC to sight see... PLEASE CHECK TO SEE THAT THE PLACES YOU WANT TO SEE ARE O P E N!!!

Went to see a matinee of Into the Woods in April. The theatre is small and the chairs are pretty uncomfortable; however, the museum was fairly interesting and there were some fun places to eat around the theatre. Had a good time and definitely enjoyed a more relaxed version of the DC theater experience!

Enjoyed my time here. It was full of history and information. You get to see the seat where Lincoln was sitting during the show. The tour guides wear period clothes and are very enthusiast in their guide.

Had a great time on Sunday touring the beautiful theater. Tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. The museum was nicely done and very interesting and had artifacts displayed such as the deringer that was used in Lincolns assassination. Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with the family!

Fords Theatre is just so magnificent and gorgeous and really a cant miss spot while in DC.

Ford’s Theater is famous as being the location of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. It has museum exhibits, live theatre, and an immersive learning area. You get to learn about the president’s assassination as well as get an inside look at the effect it had in the country.

This is a most place to come in. Awesome museum and check out the pillow that still has Lincoln blood on it

Well persevered, historic landmark, where one of the greatest tragedy occurred.
