WASHINGTON — Exactly 150 years ago, during the overnight hours of April 14-15, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at Ford’s Theatre, changing the course of American history.
Now, for one special moment in time, the historical arc bends to align 1865 and 2015 with 36 hours of free activities continuously from 9 a.m. Tuesday to 9 p.m. Wednesday between Ford’s Theatre and the Petersen House across the street, where the president died.
“We’re just offering you a very intimate look at an epic event,” says Patrick Pearson, director of artistic programming at Ford’s Theatre. “You can see the contents of his pockets; you can see his top hat; you can be in the theatre overnight at the time right after he was shot; you can be in the Petersen House at the time when he was dying. … It’s incredibly unprecedented access. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. … You have this cross-section of 1865 and 2015, and hopefully it makes us all realize how we’ve grown, how we’ve changed and how we continue to grow and change.&
