14. Ford’s Theatre Is a Working Performance Venue Today
After decades of closure, Ford’s Theatre reopened in 1968 as a living memorial to President Abraham Lincoln. It now operates as a working theatre and historical site, hosting a variety of performances, including musicals, plays, and educational programs that explore Lincoln’s legacy and the American experience. The theatre is managed through a partnership between the Ford’s Theatre Society and the National Park Service.
