(8-4-2001) Ford's Theater. The interior has been reconstructed to look as it did in April 14, 1865. Here is the box where President Lincoln sat that fateful night

       

(8-4-2001) Ford's Theater Museum. Downstairs is a wonderful museum. This is the gun that Booth used to shoot Lincoln - a .44 caliber single-shot percussion pistol manufactured by Henry Derringer of Philadelphia

(8-4-2001) Ford's Theater Museum. When Booth leaped to the stage his spur caught on a flag decorating the President's box. This Treasury Guards regimental flag is thought to be the one. Note tear at right
