Yes, it is - and we have had some unhappy out-of-towners at Surratt House this past ten days! I am a bit perturbed myself because we are taking a tour bus from Pennsylvania over the Booth escape route on Saturday, and it appears that Stop #1 at Ford's will have to be eliminated.

We will be able to get into the new Education Center because it is run by the Ford's Theatre Society, not the NPS. However, they will not open early for us as the rangers at Ford's are nice enough to do. That means we will be at least an hour behind schedule the entire day. When you are dealing with a twelve-hour tour, that hurts. But heck, it took Booth and Herold twelve days, so what are we complaining about!?
