Ford's Theater. During the tourist season and school-field-trip season it 
usually has lines like this.
At right, Petersen House, the house where Lincoln died; at left, the Ford's 
Center for Education & Leadership.  It's hard to miss the giant head in the 
window.
The interior of Ford's Theater, with the booth in which Lincoln was shot as 
it was decorated on that evening.  Everything visible here is a restoration; 
the building was previously gutted.
A map of the museum beneath the theater.  Posted because it lists more 
exhibits than I described in the associated blog post.
