"The site of the April 14, 1865, assassination of President Lincoln, Ford’s Theatre holds a unique place in United States history. The theatre has enthralled millions of visitors since its reopening in 1968, and it is one of the most visited sites in the nation’s capital." Today, Ford's Theatre is first and foremost a fully functioning theater which hosts many professional performances throughout the year. The Theatre also contains a museum, which focuses on Washington, D.C. in the mid 1800s as well as Abraham Lincoln and will reopen in Spring, 2009.

The site offers an events calendar, a listing of upcoming performances, critical reviews of currently performances, visitor information, ticketing, historical information regarding Abraham Lincoln, and online multimedia lessons for elementary, middle, and high school students.

This is essentially a duplicate of listing 9503, the Ford's Theatre Society. The above listing was pre-existing.
