Ford�s Theatre in downtown Washington, DC, is best known as the scene of Pres. Abraham Lincoln�s assassination on April 14, 1865. It is among the oldest and most visited sites of national tragedy in the United States. First constructed in 1833 as a Baptist church, the property was acquired by John T. Ford and converted into a theater in 1861. Presenting almost 500 performances before the assassination, Ford afterward sold the building to the federal government. A century later, the National Park Service reconstructed the theater, and Ford�s Theatre Society began presenting live performances there in 1968. Since then, the two organizations have partnered to offer more than 650,000 annual visitors an array of quality programming about Lincoln�s presidency and legacy. Today, patrons can explore the Tenth Street �campus,� consisting of the theater, interactive museum galleries, the house where Lincoln died, and the Center for Education and Leadership.
