Ford's Theatre, Washington DC

For $3, it's a very fair bargain. The museum below the theater has nice exhibits and it's interesting to see the theater. You should know, though, that almost everything (and possibly everything) you see in the theater is a reproduction, made well after President Lincoln was shot here. Let's say (and hope) it's a faithful replica.

The museum and inside was closed, but still interesting seeing the outside and the house across the street where President Lincoln died.

Had a great time watching "My American Cousin", really great play. During the showing some lady screamed from a booth above me, and I heard a gunshot sound, but didn't see a prop on stage.

Just saying the backstage workers shouldn't use sound affects when not appropriate. 3/5 experience.

Just had a great visit earlier today. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The theatre has taken all the necessary steps/precautions/measures for covid safety. Please support the theatre and it's staff by visiting! A+

There was a very loud gunshot followed by screaming right in the middle of the play and then a big black top hat fell off the top row onto my seat.very disruptive.

Never been. & as of now still haven't! This Darn Pandemic still has sooo many things closed. If you are heading to DC to sight see. PLEASE CHECK TO SEE THAT THE PLACES YOU WANT TO SEE ARE O P E N!

Fun historical place.a great place to stop and check out if you are in d.c. And a piece of preserved history.and has a great gift shop.

Absolutely gorgeous place with very kind and helpful staff. I'm not a theater lover but this was definitely a great experience!

Very eerie feeling as you explore where President Lincoln was shot. The theatre is still in operation, sometimes closed to tourists for performance rehearsals.
There is quite an exhibit underneath the theatre that is entertaining if you spend some time within.
Also be sure to check out the house across the street; this is where Lincoln would come to take his final breaths early the morning after being shot.

Ford’s Theater is famous as being the location of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. It has museum exhibits, live theatre, and an immersive learning area. You get to learn about the president’s assassination as well as get an inside look at the effect it had in the country.

Great theater in the heart of DC. Small and definitely a throwback to not everyone wearing microphones and electronic everything.
A theater where actors have to project or you have to listen more.
And it's historic so.

If the theatre part is closed the downstairs area is still worth the visit. It's all here, even the Derringer. The video of past presidents reciting portions of the Gettysburg address is a must see.

It was really cool to be at the place where history happened. It's crazy to think that I was in the same place Abraham Lincoln was long ago.
