Learn about Lincoln’s assassination from two men who were there. Actor Harry Hawk and Ford’s Theatre co-owner Harry Ford revisit the events of April 14, 1865. As they reconstruct the sequence of events, they grapple with the question: Could John Wilkes Booth have been stopped? This 35-minute presentation explores the key facts of the assassination while capturing the emotions of that fateful night. Featuring costumed actors.

One Destiny is offered during the day in the spring and during the evening in the summer. When booking tickets, you may choose a ticket that includes entry into the museum. Museum entries are 30 minutes before One Destiny (i.e. 10 a.m. museum entry for a 10:30 a.m. One Destiny). If you do not wish to visit the museum, choose a ticket that includes entry on the half-hour (i.e. 10:30 or 11:30 a.m.).

This production is appropriate for ages 8 and up.
