Definitely a MUST SEE is the Ford Theater!! You could almost feel the presence of President Lincoln there! Have fun!

Some of our relatives came to tour DC... while downtown they asked a uniformed security guard if he knew where Ford's Theatre was. He was not sure what Ford's Theatre was so they said, "...you know... where Lincoln was shot". When he realized someone had been shot there, he said, "Maam, that doesn't sound like a place you should be going"
Ford's Theatre sets you back in time... you get the feeling that it is the 1860s and Lincoln is about to take his seat in the balcony...
After you see the theatre head across the street to see where he spent his last hours.
Enjoy
