Since it reopened its doors in 1968, more than a hundred years after the April 14, 1865, assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, Ford’s Theatre has been one of the most visited sites in the nation’s capital. Ford’s Theatre has captivated visitors because of its unique place in United States history, and its mission to celebrate the legacy of Abraham Lincoln and explore the American experience through theatre and education.
Visit this national historic site and experience programming that brings history to life! Recently restored and renovated, Ford’s Theatre offers daytime visits, walking tours and evening performances. Groups of 20 or more receive special discounts.
Daytime Visitors to the site can build their own experience. A visit can include:
*a National Park Service Ranger presentation about Ford’s Theatre and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln
*a presentation by Ford’s Theatre Society of "One Destiny," a one-act play that transports visitors back to April 14, 1865, and the events leading up to Lincoln’s assassination
*the Ford’s Theatre Museum, featuring a remarkable collection of historic artifacts as well as exhibits about the Civil War and Lincoln’s Presidency
*the Petersen House, the house where Lincoln died (available through late 2010)
Ford's Theatre also presents evening and matinee performances of plays and musicals reflecting the unique, diverse character of American life. Our 2010-2011 season includes the romantic comedy "Sabrina Fair," the holiday classic "A Christmas Carol," the poignant drama "The Carpetbagger's Children," and the world premiere musical "Liberty Smith."
