Ford’s Theater Wood Relic *
Historic Rare Authentic Lincoln Washington, DC
Own a Real Authentic Piece of the Ford’s Theater!
Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. was the location of one of this country’s greatest National tragedies on April 14, 1865, when President Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth. The theater, opened by John Ford in 1863, has had a long and varied history since that fateful day. Closed immediately after the assassination, it was later reopened as government offices, a medical museum and later a warehouse. In the 1930’s it was again renovated and re-opened as the Lincoln Museum.
In 1964, Congress funded a complete renovation to turn the historic building back into a working theater, as close as possible to its 1865 original appearance. The Coe Construction Co. Inc., of Washington. D.C. was awarded the contract for the work, completing the restoration in 1968. It has been operating as a theater under the National Park Service ever since.
This small piece of pine wood was removed from a larger piece of wood salvaged during the 1960’s restoration.
Now you have an opportunity to own an original relic from one of the most famous theaters in the world!
The actual piece of wood is about ¾ inch long and is mounted on a 5x7 inch descriptive COA display that can be easily framed. The display is protected by a stiff plastic protector. The background image on the display card is an early one taken of the theater in April 1865. An image of the original pine block of wood with vintage ID tag is also shown along with an interior restoration photo.
This would look great matted and framed and would make a very special gift!
