News Articles: Ford's Theatre

An auction house sold two tickets to the play at Ford's Theatre from the night that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.

Ford's Theatre tickets from the night Lincoln was assassinated sell for $262,500

The two tickets match the marks of what's thought to be the only other used ticket from the night John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln on April 14, 1865.
