First constructed in 1833 as a Baptist church, the property was acquired by John T. Ford and converted into a theater in 1861. Presenting almost 500 performances before the assassination, Ford afterward sold the building to the federal government. A century later, the National Park Service reconstructed the theater, and Ford's Theatre Society began presenting live performances there in 1968. Since then, the two organizations have partnered to offer more than 650,000 annual visitors an array of quality programming about Lincoln's presidency and legacy. Today, patrons can explore the Tenth Street \"campus,\" consisting of the theater, interactive museum galleries, the house where Lincoln died, and the Center for Education and Leadership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Anderson, Ford's Theatre Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467121126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467121125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.52w x 0.38d","brand":"Brian Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936107561215,"sku":"9781467121125","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_92c0e11c-a2ae-4b7d-be09-6a5ff417cec8.jpg?v=1681423631","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fords-theatre-brian-anderson-9781467121125","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
