Ford Theater


We brought our grandsons, Dylan-15 and Connor-13 to Washington DC.  Today was our first day to see and experience America’s Capital.  We started at Ford Theater where Abraham Lincoln was shot.  We began there because today was the only day this week we could go into the theater.  The theater is still used for plays and they are getting the sets ready to rehearse A Christmas Carol which opens next week.  We had the audio tour of the museum below the theater where you can follow the days leading up to the assassination, learn about the conspiracy and see the pistol used and items belonging to the Lincoln’s.  Across the street we toured the Peterson house where Lincoln died.
