Ford's Theatre is a unique DC experience as both a historical museum and high quality theatre. I recently visited to watch A Christmas Carol. The production was amazing, I mean really well done. The cast performance, the sound, lighting and stage setup was all topnotch. I would definitely attend again. The museum is also well thought out and the displays are very informative to the history of the theatre building and Lincoln's presidency. Museum admission is included with the purchase of tickets to a theatre production. The theatre also partners with local non-profits on ticket sales for certain productions, which is a great way to give back to the surrounding communities. I can't wait to go back. Thank you!

Amazing piece of living history. The ranger talk in the theatre was so well done. Really brought history to life, especially for my two young boys. The museum did a great job describing the times that lead up to the assassination as well as Lincoln’s presidency. Cannot recommend it enough. Make sure you buy tickets in advance online and ensure your time includes all 4 pieces of the experience: museum, theatre, Peterson House, and aftermath exhibits. Not all times include everything, especially the afternoons on weekends when they are putting on plays.

My family's first time at Ford's Theater. We were at awh with the ambiance and intimacy of the theater. We were seated second role center of the stage. What a beautiful performance by the actors and amazing transitions to the many parts of the Christmas Carole. We will definitely be back for new performances. I highly recommend to all.
