Eastern National is the Fords Theatre National Historic Site cooperating association. They operate the store in the museum to broaden the public's understanding of the park and its stories. Eastern National donates a portion of the store proceeds to visitor services and interpretation projects. They also help the park provide publications that it couldn't otherwise. Visit the Eastern National webpage for more information on their partnership with the National Park Service

Presidents Box  

Did You Know?
It is no mistake that President George Washington’s portrait adorns the State Box where President Lincoln was seated in Ford’s Theatre. The original lithograph, along with American flags, and a US Treasury Guard flag, was placed there to decorate the box on April 14, 1865.
