washington post review of Ford's Theatre

[Dennis Urban]

I and my daughter are scheduled to go to Ford's next week on a timed admittance. Last there in 2009. I appreciate the comments about reproduction artifacts and time in the museum. Would be helpful if the ranger would announce how much time is allocated once the group enters the particular area. Then we could course around the repros and go directly to the real thing. Last week I toured the Surratt House for the first time in 30 years. My daughter and I were the only folks on this afternoon's tour. My first comment/question to the docent was to inquire as to what furniture, etc. was original to the house. Not unexpectedly she knew and pointed out what I wanted to know as we went along. I really appreciate such information from knowledgeable guides.
