The site of the April 14, 1865, assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, Ford's Theatre is a working theatre, historical monument, world-class museum and learning center.
Ford Theatre is also a very formal place, the whole theater has a lot of things, the interior here is very authentic location, the decoration is quite exquisite, you can see a lot of content.
The red brick exterior of the Ford Theatre is striking and historical. But the history of the Ford Theatre is obviously more interesting because it was the location of the assassination of the President of the United States.
I went in 2014, because I did my homework before I went, so I learned that it was free to enter the restaurant, but to get tickets in advance somewhere nearby, the number of tickets per day is limited, so I must get up early. It's good to go into the theatre and have free lectures.
The Ford Theatre National Historic Site (Ford’s Theatre National Historic Site ) consists of two parts, the Ford Theatre and the Peterson House, a three-story red brick building across the street. The Ford Theatre was where Lincoln was assassinated. Theatre is still in use now. Petersen House is used as a museum. On April 14, 1865, Lincoln, watching the comedy "Our American Relatives" at the Ford Theatre in Washington, DC, stabbed Lincoln by sympathetic Southern actor Booth and shot him in the head in the upstairs box. President Lincoln was later carried to Peterson House opposite the Ford Theatre, where President Lincoln died at 7:22 the next morning. Later, the Ford Theatre and Peterson House, identified as a national historical site. There is a subway station nearby.
Visiting a place of great importance in American history, the Ford Theatre, where Lincoln was assassinated, and a house opposite, was where he finally died. Dashun was photographed by countless people holding hands and shaking hands with him with great seriousness and sincerity. I feel that Americans have a deep feeling for Lincoln. One reporter said that Washington let the world know us and Lincoln let us know ourselves.
It's a historic attraction. We like the crafts here, and we also like to visit the theatre. We can see the cubicle where Lincoln was assassinated. This theatre is wonderful.
