On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth entered the Presidential box at Ford's Theater and assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. Ford's Theater has been an infamous part of American history ever since.
The theater still runs a full program of events and performances, but most people visit the theater to experience the site where occurred one of the most tragic incidents in American history. Visitors can see the shrouded Presidential Box as well as the rest of the fully restored theater. In the basement museum, artifacts related to the assassination are on display. Exhibits include the pistol Booth used to shoot Lincoln and the suit Lincoln was wearing at the time.
Self-guided tours of the theater are available 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. daily, except when the theater has matinees or rehearsals (usually Thursdays and weekends). The basement museum is still open at these times.
