For any history buff, the theater is definitely worth coming to. Its very interesting to see it, as well as the exhibits it contains. Admission is free.
我们是在哥伦布日的周末来的。前两天无法进入免费国家公园展馆。于是决定多付点钱提前买票。这种安排也更方便。总之,一次不错的游览。
Incredibly moving to see the setting of one of the most historical murders in American History. Well preserved and still being used to this day for shows. Also nice that there was no entrance fee and they only requested a donation of our choice to view. Not too far from the beaten path and well worth seeing.
I have always been a great admirer of President Lincoln and their interpretive displays in the basement of the theater position him in his political and historical context. Allow plenty of time to absorb all the displays and visit the center across the street next to the boarding house where he died. 1-2 hrs total
国家保护区不仅仅有剧院还有很多景点。你可以买票参团(有时间限制),如果你在华盛顿待多过一天,那最好提前一天买票,保证时间。白天剧场还有表演,因此时间和剧目可选的有限。我建议在没有演出的时候去,能看到很多东西。以现在的标准看,剧场非常小,但是你能看到林肯遇刺时坐的包厢。对我来说有趣的是地下博物馆里各种影响和物品的展示。其中还有林肯穿的衣服,刺杀他的枪,靴子等等。旅游团还包含餐馆对面的Petersen House,林肯就是被送到那里并在第二天早晨去世的。Petersen House按原貌修葺的,陈列了古旧的家具,当然我最感兴趣的还是地下博物馆,陈列了葬礼上用的东西以及追捕凶手的相关东西。我们一家人都很喜欢,推荐给所有来华盛顿的人。
这里是免费的,不要被网站信息给迷惑了。售票处买的“票”实际上是保证入场费,能够确保客人在高峰客流时间入场。因为这家剧院还在营业,因此参观的时间要视演出而定。门票是10美元一人,如果还要使用他们的额外服务,还需要另外付费。好像自助语音导游机是可以免费使用的,包含在门票里,但不确定。我们因为错过了时间,导致使用时间失效了,因此没有使用上。我们第二天又伺机而动了,因为有个活动会很早结束,我们可以避开蜂拥的客人免费入场。可以花钱使用语音解说器,每人5美元,绝对超值,当你在博物馆参观以及街对面的斯图尔特公寓(林肯总统去世的地方)逗留时会提供很多信息。还可以看到当时的枪杀现场。里面的展品都很生动,甚至还可以看到林肯去世前夜所穿的西服,同样还有很多布斯的展品。书屋非常大,里面有各种关于林肯以及其生平的书籍,也因此更进一步了解到这位伟人有多么受人爱戴。允许大约4小时的参观时间,绝对值得。整个过程非常令人温暖,同时也很感伤。
我觉得,来华盛顿玩的话,福特剧院必须要来看看。一层为我们提供了你想知道的关于林肯总统被刺的所有资料和相关情报,然后你就可以游览这个剧院,然后看一看林肯总统是在那个套间里被刺杀的。建议:你排队的时候一定要确认一下这个剧院是否营业,因为有时侯这里会有彩排或表演,这样的话就不营业。
If you are a history or Lincoln fan this is a must see. If you read most printed material and watch the videos plan on 3 hours. It's free just pick up a ticket at the ticket counter. Be sure to go across the street to look at the bedroom he died in. Allow 1 hour to view all of the exhibits in that building. It's included in the free ticket. They have a nice gift shop. Next door is a fun place for lunch. The Lincoln Waffle House.
This incredibly well preserved theater gives you a haunting look back to that fateful day in 1865. Whether you're just taking a tour or staying to take in a play, this is a great attraction for history lovers!
Mind blown that I stood where the fate of a nation was altered forever. What can you say but wow. History at your feet.
