To honor the legacy of President Abraham Lincoln, you're invited to join me at an in-person event at Ford's Theatre on Saturday, April 26th at 9am. The itinerary is below.
HOW TO ATTEND: This in-person event is on Saturday, April 26th. To attend this event, you must purchase your own ticket(s) through the Ford's Theatre Box Office. I encourage you to buy your ticket(s) as soon as possible. A limited number of tickets are available, and these tickets sell quickly since they include the option for the play. I do not have extra tickets. If you wait, you may not be able to buy a ticket.
VERY IMPORTANT: RSVP'ing to this event on Meetup does not give you an admission ticket to the theatre. You must purchase you own ticket(s) from the Ford's Theatre Box Office.
You should purchase an $11.00 ticket for the 9am entry time for Saturday, April 26th.
OVERVIEW OF VISIT: One of the most visited and revered sites in the nation’s capital, Ford’s Theatre reopened its doors in 1968, more than 100 years after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Operated through a partnership between Ford’s Theatre Society and our beloved National Park Service, Ford’s Theatre is the premier destination in the nation’s capital to explore and celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s life and legacy.
8:45am Meet inside the lobby of outside Ford's Theatre, 511 Tenth Street, Washington, DC.
9:00am, the Museum: The ticket is for a 9am entry to tour the museum that contains artifacts from Lincoln’s presidency, Civil War milestones, and the assassination conspiracy led by John Wilkes Booth.
10am, Ford's Theatre: Your ticket includes the 10am production of the play One Destiny.
The Petersen House: Once we finish watching the play, we will go across the street to The Petersen House, where the mortally wounded Lincoln was carried. Inside the Petersen House, we will see the bedroom where Lincoln died and the Aftermath Exhibits. The new gift shop adjacent to the Petersen House is also open.
Baptist Alley: After finishing the tour of the Petersen House, if people are interested, we can walk around the block to the back of Ford's Theatre to see the back stage door from which Booth escaped after assassinating President Lincoln.
