Ford's Theater
Abraham Lincoln was shot while watching a play at the Ford's theater. The theater is currently a working theater. We were unable to go into the actual theater because there were rehearsals going on. After the President was shot, they carried him across the street to The Peterson's House. It was just someone's house but they knew they had to get him somewhere where he could rest and that was the closest place. This house is now a museum to Lincoln. They have recreated the room where he died to look exactly like it did at the time he died. They converted the house next to it into part of the museum. The 34 foot tower of books about Abraham Lincoln, symbolizes that the last word about this great man will never be written. The tower features 205 real titles. The titles repeat throughout the tower and the tower approximates 6, 800 books. At three stories high, the tower represents just a fraction of the 15,000 titles written about Lincoln.
Spy Museum
We went to the spy museum gift shop but did not go through the actual museum. The cool part really is the gift shop anyway...
At the gift shop, they had disguises of all sorts, one of which were mustaches. They were made to put on your finger but, these brave boys put them right on their lips. I have not laughed that hard in a really long time!
