[wpbinzel]

From Ford's:

"We are delighted to announce that Ford’s Theatre Society and the National Park Service will begin a phased reopening on October 14, 2020. For the last several months, we have been working together to adjust our visitor experience to meet new health and safety guidelines. We are excited to welcome you back to the historic site and share Lincoln’s legacy with you.

"During the first level of our reopening, we will be open Wednesday through Sunday and closed on Monday and Tuesday. Only the museum and theatre will be open; the Petersen House and Aftermath Exhibits will remain closed.

"Starting at 10 a.m. October 13, tickets will be available for October 14-18 historic site visits. Future ticket releases will be on Fridays at 10 a.m. for the following Wednesday-Sunday. For example, tickets for October 21-25 will be available Friday, October 16.

"We expect visitors and staff to comply with all safety protocols.

"We have implemented additional safety measures based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control, the American Alliance of Museums and DC Health. Visit our website for more information on advance tickets, limited capacity, mask requirements, wellness checks, social distancing, increased cleaning and one-way paths.

"As we reopen the historic site, we appreciate that not everyone will be ready or able to join us in person. We continue to offer a variety of virtual programming, from Cabinet Conversations to virtual field trips.

"Whether you choose to engage with us at home or in person, we thank you for your ongoing support of Ford’s and our mission to be where Lincoln’s legacy lives."
