50 years and one day ago (January 30, 1968), Ford’s Theatre celebrated opening to the public as a theatre for the first time since Lincoln’s assassination. Lady Bird Johnson hosted a program honoring Lincoln’s love of the performing arts.

Here, beloved actor Helen Hayes recites a passage from “Our American Cousin” as part of the ceremony.
