Reignette, the following was sent by Laurie. It was written by Eric Martin, Ford's Theatre Site Education Coordinator/Historian-Interpretation:

The staff of the NPS along with our best volunteers plan to conduct guided interpretive program tours in front of the Petersen House about every 15 minutes from 6 pm to around 7:15 pm on the evening of the 14th.

We plan on having visitors, in groups of no more than 15 at a time, where a ranger will initially meet the group just outside in front of the House. From there, visitors will be introduced to a historical figure within each of the 3 historical rooms for approximately 2 to 3 minutes in an attempt to provide them with a feel for what the mood was like within each room.

After passing through the Death Bedroom of Willie Clark, the visitor group(s) will then be greeted by a ranger and directed on to the 4th floor of the "Center for Education and Leadership Museum" where from there, the story continues.

Please be advised, however, that tickets will be required and given out at the Box Office on a first come/first serve basis on that day; but we (the National Park Service staff) have not yet worked out the "logistical" details regarding acquiring the tickets from the "Ford's Theatre Society" in advance." Also, please feel free to contact NPS Site Manager here at Ford's, Jeffrey Jones for updates concerning this. We plan on formulating the final logistics in conjunction with our partners at the "Society" over the next several days. His email address is the following: jeffrey_m_jones@nps.gov

Thank you!
