Fords Theatre  

Did You Know?
John T. Ford purchased the building for his theatre in 1861, converting it from a church. After a fire in 1863, Ford rebuilt the theatre, which he ran successfully until Lincoln’s assassination took place on April 14, 1865. 495 performances were staged at Ford’s Theatre from 1863-1865.
