Ford's Theatre is one place I am so glad I decided to go to! As a historian, this is one place that has always been on my bucket list and out of the many times I've been to DC, only once have I been able to go, but I would love to go again! It has an incredible history and our tour guide was awesome!…

It's amazing to get this close to history. Even with current restrictions, being able to visit this place is a great experience. The museum contains some stunning artifacts that I wasn't aware were there. Visit Ford's Theatre--you won't be disappointed!

Thanks for visiting Ford's Theatre during your D.C. visit. If you'd like additional information on the building's history from its humble beginnings as a Baptist church, to what happened after Abraham Lincoln's assassination, to its current legacy as a working theatre, museum and national historical landmark, learn more on the Ford's blog: https://www.fords.org/blog/post/new-book-images-of-america-fords-theatre.

This was definitely one of the highlights from our trip. I couldn't imagine not stopping at Fords theater while in D.C. The story that was told was very interesting and informative. I wish the tour went into a little more detail but it seems that there are other walking tours that may tell more of the story. Don't skip out on the museum across the street its very informative as well.…
