Excellent tour! The ranger talk was done very well and had so much interesting information about the history of the theater and Lincoln. Though a little stressful with DC traffic to make a timed entrance, I actually really appreciated it once the tour started. The other buildings were very busy and had some great things to see that expanded on the theater experience.

On a school trip in 8th grade, I remember visiting Lincoln's Theater and enjoying it. Now, 40 years later, with my twin daughters in 8th grade, it was time to return. The NPS still does a great job of explaining what happened while you are in the theater. The museum, while crowded, does an excellent overview of Lincoln's life. Easy parking next door for only $20 for the day. This may sound pricey but in Manhattan, it could be $80 in places so it was quite reasonable for me. A must-see in DC and thankfully, my daughters enjoyed it too.

The museum was very interesting and even had the gun that killed Lincoln. We were able to go into the theater and hear an informative presentation from the Park Ranger about the assassination. We also toured the house where Lincoln died. It was all interesting and well worth the $5 per ticket.

This theatre opened in August 1863. Ford's Theatre is best known as the site of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865 by John Wilkes Booth, a Confederate sympathizer. John Wilkes Booth, the assassin, was a famous actor who acted in the theatre, so he was not stopped from entering the theatre towards the end of the performance of ‘Our American Cousin’ which was being watched by President Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary Todd Lincoln and their friends. Booth walked into the Presidential box and shot the President at the back of his head at point blank range. He then jumped down onto the stage and escaped through a rear door at which he had kept his horse ready to make his escape to Maryland. He was on the run till April 26 when he was gunned down by a Union soldier. The US military took over the theatre and used it as a warehouse and office for several years. It is now a theatre again staging regular shows which are popular. The theatre is now administered by the US National Park Service.
Beneath the theatre is a museum which covers the assassination, Lincoln’s arrival in Washington, his cabinet, his family life at the White house, Civil War milestones, about the generals in the war with photographs and illustrations. Across the street one can visit the Petersen house (on the same ticket) where Lincoln spent the night after he was shot. He died there the next morning. A related Center for Education and Leadership houses a museum opened in 2012, next to Petersen House. One can see approximately 15,000 books that have been written about the 16th President stacked up into a column almost three stories high as one leaves the building.

A wealth of information throughout the museum. Ok, the theatre has been rebuilt, but it's been rebuilt to the 1860s blueprints. As close as we could get to the original from the time. The Peterson house across the road was included in the admission (free if you simply turn up). This was also worthwhile, showing the room where Lincoln died and a further museum regarding the aftermath of the assassination.

Part museum about the assassination of President Lincoln, part working theatre that has live plays, the Ford Theatre is a must see spot if you are visiting Washington. I came on a weekend and was able to see an excellent production of a Christmas Carol, while also visiting the museum in the theatre's basement. Both experiences were great.
Note: To save money on the play I purchased a ticket with an obstructed view (see photo). While I was fine with the view--I was able to see about 95% of the stage--some people may find this form of obstruction too much.

We rented the audio tour as part of the museum tour. Really enjoyed the added commentary but you don’t have to rent it- could read it all on the walls.
Very well done museum.
Stayed for A Christmas Carol. Excellent play. Was in balcony. Had some challenges seeing due to column in the way. Still fantastic time and tickets upstairs are lower priced than downstairs.

The museum does a great job with the Lincoln presidency and the assassination plot. Be sure to go when visiting the theatre is available.

It was Awesome! The "museum" was informative and well done, the theater has been kept up well. There was production set up going on while we were there so the back stage doors were open and lots of commotion going on which was a bit distracting but other than that it was really great to see.

Le Théâtre de Ford de Washington est tristement célèbre pour être le lieu où Abraham Lincoln a été assassiné d'une balle dans la tête le 14 avril 1865 avant de mourir le 15 avril au matin, dans la maison située juste en face du théâtre.
Le parcours de visite se compose de 4 parties : le musée où est retracée la vie du Président, sa vie de famille, ses croyances politiques, son engagement et surtout tout l'environnement socio-politico-historique de sa vie. Le musée est très bien fait, des objets d'origine sont exposés (l'arme qui lui fut fatale, l'oreiller sur lequel on peut encore voir les traces de sang, etc.)
Ensuite, on se rend dans le théâtre où l'on peut approcher de très près la loge présidentielle et le fauteuil sur lequel il était assis au moment où John Wilkes Booth, un sympathisant confédéré et acteur lui tira une balle dans la tête à bout portant.
La seconde grande partie de visite se trouve de l'autre côté de la rue, juste en face. On visite la maison dans laquelle le corps de Lincoln, inconscient a été transporté. Il y passe la nuit sans pouvoir reprendre conscience et est déclaré mort le 15 avril 1865 à 7h du matin.
Enfin, on prend un ascenseur pour une autre partie de musée consacrée à la traque des conspirateurs ainsi qu'à toutes les conséquences de son assassinat non seulement sur le plan local et américain mais également au niveau international.
C'est une visite très intéressante où l'on en apprend beaucoup sur Lincoln, sa vie, ses accomplissements, sa vision de la démocratie et toutes les grandes avancées pour le pays qu'il a menées. Lincoln fait partie de ces grands présidents dont le but était le bien-être et le bonheur de ses compatriotes. Toutes les explications sont en anglais.
L'entrée est à 5$, ce qui est vraiment donné quand l'on considère tout ce que l'on voit et visite. Il faut réserver un créneau horaire sur le site ou alors vous pouvez vous rendre directement sur place. Faites attention au jour de visite car parfois tout n'est pas ouvert, surtout les jours où il y a des répétitions et des représentations dans le théâtre.
Personnel très sympa et accueillant. Toilettes sur place. Boutique dans la deuxième partie de visite, en face.
Prévoir 2h30 au moins

How much time should we budget for our visit (September 2021)? We have a historic site ticket for both the museum and the theater walk through.

It's a great place to visit, but I can't see spending 2 hours here. We saw about half of the museum, climbed to the theatre box, went to the gift shop and were out in under an hour.

For the show performances that start at 7:30pm (we're going to see guys and dolls), how long do they last? About 2 hours? Trying to figure out dinner plans...don't mind eating late, but will also consider earlier depending on our other activities schedule. Thanks.

I would have thought guys & dolls would play around 2.5hrs, there may be an intermission also, so possibly add another 15mins.
For dining before or afterwards I can recommend “Old Ebbitt Grill” simply superb, one of there specials are the Crab Cakes.
Enjoy & have a great time.

hi! As far as I know, you need to book your visit in advance, or take your chance at the box office. There is no tour guide, but you can rent the audio guide. You can't go in any time you want because the place is not big, and they have a max number of people every 30 minutes. So, you when you book, you choose the admission time and everyone who booked the same time will be admitted together.

If we have timed tickets to Ford's Theater for 3:30pm, would we have enough time to see the theater and Peterson house and make a dinner reservation at Carmine's for 5:30?

I had a similar thing had reservations 2 hours after our start time. I got so caught up in everything to see we did not come close to making it. It all depends how much you are into history and how "awed" you are by being in such a historical place.

I have tickets for the Ford's Theatre museum entrance and tour at 10:00am. May I visit the Peterson house first, say at 9:30am? I have tickets to enter the National Archives at 11:30am and want to make sure I have enough time at the Ford's Theatre.

It depends on how many people are there and if you have to wait, I agree with the previous comments about needing at least 45 - 60 minutes to really see the Peterson house, but you can walk through faster if you like.

Hello! I will be visiting Ford's Theatre in the end of July. I plan on doing the museum, the ranger talk and Petersen House.
But I wonder if the aftermath exhibits are also worth visiting?
Thank you so much!

Is there an entrance on 10th St NW? We’re planning to walk from the Mall, but my GPS says we should go down 9th, past it, around the block, and then down what might be an alley(?).

Yes, our main entrance is on 10th Street. We are located on 10th between E and F Street NW. We are easy to find - no need to go down an alley!

For visitors driving, an independent parking garage is located directly next to the theatre and has an elevator that will take you to our lobby. Parking fees are not validated. Ford's Theatre is conveniently located near the Metro Center and Gallery Place/Chinatown metro stations.
