@SuperWierdo15 you are half wrong. He was shot less than a week after the Civil War Ended (Lincoln shot on April 14, Civil War ended officially on April 9 with the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse).

I was at Fords theater on vacation last May. The park service range gave the presentation. That Lincoln was shot by John Willis Booth April 14 1865. John didn't like Lincoln due to he freed the slaves. I heard Boths name at least 4 times in the presentation.

I was April 14 1875 that Lincoln was was shot. I was there at Fors's theater when they told us on vacation in May of last year.

I have a general question that I always kinda wondered about, does anyone know why they got rid of the vestibule that Booth walked through to get into the presidental box? I would have thought that they would have left it to keep with authenticity.
