Inside ABRAHAM LINCOLN Assassination Site FORD'S THEATRE w/ DEATH Room & Murder Weapon!!

[@alancumming6407]

Jordan, your commentary enabled us not only to understand how the assassination and the aftermath played out, it also brought those events vividly to life. By the time you reached the room where Lincoln died - it seemed as if it only happened yesterday. Amazing broadcast! Truly appreciated.

[@rongenung]

I visited both sites on Good Friday 1972, and my brother and I were the only visitor in either building. The crowd on your visit surprised me. Good video, Jordan.

[@kristibrownoly]

I took this tour 32 years ago. I had forgotten many of the details. Thank you for bringing this back to life for me. Very interesting coverage as usual, Jordan!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

You are very welcome!

[@cubbie8330]

Jordan, what I love about your commentaries over the past couple years is your gift for making people think they've transcended time and are actually there, whether it's Hollywood or some other American site. Keep up the great work!

[@lindadegraaf9297]

@My Old Pal "Jordan The Lion"-@14:32-14:33...The very best part of every single one of your videos...watching you capture certain scenes, then hearing the absolute awe and quiet, breathless excitement in your voice, like a little kid in front of the tree on Christmas, when revealing to your viewers the most iconic parts of every videos...the "AH's", the "WOW's"...making us feel as if we're there too, following just behind you, eagerly anticipating the next event! I'm an elderly, lonely old grandma, all by myself now, but watching you and your videos really do makes me feel like I'm truly "one of your ol' pals", experiencing everything that you are, right in that moment. Thank you, Jordan, from the bottom of my heart, for each and every one of your videos, granting me the opportunity to still learn about, and to see all of the incredible things I'd never otherwise get a chance to see in this life before I die...you really are "the best"!!

[@Casper7762]

That is my hometown. You should also do the Surratt’s Tavern in Clinton, Maryland and Dr. Mudds Home in Waldorf, Md then go into Virginia to see where Booth was killed at.

[@kjlcr]

Another excellent commentary. I've never been to Ford's Theater. However, your tour was the next best thing to being there. Thank you, Jordan

[@ruthbennett6954]

It's amazing how History can still be at your finger tips.. Bless you Jordan taking us along for the ride... You've got a really cool gig going on,it's a life some dream of,to be able to travel and see things up close and personal... Safe travels

[@karensundin3399]

Jordan. Great story of Lincoln’s Assassination. I love when you teach us history. Thank you

[@luanne115]

Hi, I grew up right outside Washington dc and went here on a field trip in school and still go there every now and then. I still live here about 10 miles from Ford's Theater. We also took a walk through the house across the street where he was taken (house is still there) and it has items in it that are original/ still there through the years,,, hair brush mirrors some furniture etc,,,.

[@pinkcarnation231]

Jordan, consider doing the Samuel Mudd House in Maryland. Many original items, including the couch Booth laid on and the bed he slept in....much more of a story than it appears and you can feel the events of that location 150 years later

[@rayymysteriioo]

i live near that museum

[@sammychicken4290]

As an Australian Jordon, I appreciate the long history of your wonderful country. Again, a great episode. Kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺

[@swansfan6944]

🙌 I’m so excited, I’m going to leave my tablet running while I go and watch this on the big screen. Being Australian I can’t go to these places in person, so thank you so much Jordan. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. I love ❤️ Abe, and I have a lot of Abe memorabilia. I think he was such an amazingly accomplished man for his time. ❤Jodie 🇦🇺

[@laraSemerad]

I saw the play there Christmas carol and new up keep. Our class had the tour in 1980's. We sat below near the stage.

[@lewisreeves3993]

Haven't been there since 1987! While living on the east coast, my sister wanted to take us to Washington D.C. , I really didn't want to go! Government crap is what I saw in my mind. I WAS SO WRONG! Awsome place all about this great country n its awesome peeps! Hope to go bk someday. Great job Jordon!

[@terristraw676]

I have been fortunate to visit the theatre many times. I’m so glad you are able to finally view the theater yourself. A very important event in our history and you presented this location with great knowledge. Thank you.

[@mimallen9307]

This is so sad. I can just hear the chaos. People screaming, crying and the frenzy as they tried to get President Lincoln to safety. It was already too late. This was just words in the history books, but you really brought it to life. Thanks Jordan.

[@JoeFromJoplinMO]

WOW...Thank you, Jordan. I really thought that I knew most of the details regarding Lincoln's assassination, but I learned many new datils from this vlog. Plus, getting to view all of those artifacts made it even more enjoyable.

[@nchistorytravelerandrelich801]

I just recently found out that the chair Lincoln was sitting in at the time of the assassination is a Henry Ford's Museum in Michigan. That was pretty cool info. I certainly enjoyed my visit to Ford's Theater.

[@TheSherryBoops]

Thanks Jordan. I wish people would STOP killing each other.

[@raydash1424]

Visited Fords theater years ago and glad to see many of the items are still there. The door to the presidents box fascinated me. You did a good job

[@CigarReviewTv]

I can’t believe how crowded it is. When I went there, I think there was maybe 15 people there. It was a while back but they had Lincoln’s coat and chair etc… really interesting. We were also able to step into the area where Lincoln was sitting.

[@janekipgen9610]

Thank you so much for this video of Lincoln in Washington D.C. I have admired all your videos! Great job!

[@Zaradikaresells]

Great work. I enjoyed this. Thank you. I will have to visit next time I visit the city. You have the best presentation voice on YT

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Thanks again for sharing Jordan and Jah, the history

[@wizzvapes1965]

Great Video!!! Do they just let people beg and hold signs outside the ford theater? What a world we live in...

[@donculver153]

Thanks Jordan. It’s amazing all the artifacts on display. Gives me chill bumps. Your narration is AAA+++.

[@conniephillips8217]

I have taken that tour a couple times in my past, and it is amazing to see! It really brings history to life!!!

[@BluejaysBaseballCL]

After Booth jumped down to the stage after shooting Lincoln, he uttered "Sic Semper Tyrannus" the Virginia State motto. Thus always to Tyrants. Booth viewed Lincoln as a Tyrant. Booth thought killing Lincoln would rally the Confederate cause and lead the South to victory, but everyone turned on Booth afterwards. Even his southern friends.

[@wendyobrien2843]

This was beautifully done Jordan. So emotional to see in such detail where he was shot & died. I love the statue of him reading. The story behind this event is fascinating. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into this very sad & complex day in our nation's history. Really makes you wonder what the country would of been like if he had lived. Thank you Jordan 🇺🇸

[@veronicareeves2629]

Thank you Jordan. I've always wanted to tour this but was never able too. Great history. I learned more than I knew.

[@carolm3055]

So fascinating!! I visited the Ford theater, years ago, for a play, Jesus Christ SuperStar!! Enjoyed the tour and detailed history! I would like to go back and visit again.

[@charliec5449]

I loved the tour of Ford's theatre and the Peterson house across the street where he died. I remember his death bed being so small and Lincoln was a tall man. Back in the day you were allowed to go through the first door but not through the 2nd door, but you could look into the President's box where he was sitting.

[@MrJearley6]

Thank you for this video !!

[@cindyhenning7832]

Thank you Jordan for explaining the assassination to us. It feels so strange to think that we can go back that far in life and still learn from that history.

[@jimmyflanagan5938]

Started watch his channel years ago when he did classic Hollywood. Sure miss those streams

[@1020mj]

Ford's Theatre is an amazing place. Been there a few years back. Got chills just thinking of the history that was in that building. Glad to be able to see it again via your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@katieraeburn7390]

Such energy everywhere

[@Taylors_Dress.13]

I actually went to Fords Theatre back in September of last year, and it was a really cool place. Someone had told us that the painting of George Washington hanging from the presidents box had been placed there by Abraham Lincoln. I hope I can go back sometime.

[@ruthjesse6759]

Thank u Jordan, what a wonderful video. It was like personally taking the tour which I have always wanted to do.

[@sigguy1361]

It’s unfortunate that the entire theater is a reproduction of what was at the time, built and restored based off of photographs, but they did a good job in doing so. I remember going to Ford’s Theater and the Petersen House in the 90’s and it was quite something to see! Thanks for the memory lane trip!

[@baylorsailor]

A woman in my town's early history was at the theater when Lincoln was shot. There's articles throughout the years of her retelling the story up until her death. It scarred her for life.

[@anneiwanowski9653]

This was awesome! Take care and safe travels ♥️miss your music intro!

[@RobertBrady-v6s]

Great video.. places most people can’t or won’t be able to visit and you are able to bring it to our devices to view.. thanks! Love watching your stuff bro

[@groupdeleted3079]

This is one of the best videos you’ve ever posted Jordan nice work of art bro .

[@Christine-fx6py]

Great video, Jordan. An excellent book to read is Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly. It draws you into the story, almost like a play by play, you can picture it all in your mind. Lincolns theatre chair is on display at The Henry Ford Museum in Detroit. ( also a fantastic museum, they have presidents' cars)

[@josephduarte1886]

Loved the video, God bless brother

[@rongenung]

General and Mrs. Grant were supposed to accompany the Lincolns that night. But Mrs. Grant couldn't stand Mary Lincoln, so they drclined. The young couple that did go were Henry Rathbone and his fiance Clara Harris. Booth slashed Rathbone's arm. The young couple later married and while they were in Germany, Rathbone killed his wife Clara and then himself.

[@roknrolbilly]

hey jordan..... thanks again for another great video....

[@AlbieSol560]

A great man cut down from behind. I visited the states a couple of weeks ago taking in Washington DC and viewed the theatre and Lincoln monument. Really interesting commentary, thanks Jordan.

[@dtna]

Thanks. Be careful around WA D.C.. Just a few blocks away from the White House is the ghetto. Nearby Georgetown is safe.

[@pameladonnelson2093]

I am glad they kept all these items so we can still see them today❤

[@sarahwhitus6657]

the actual death bed and other artifacts are in the chicago history museum

[@finman84]

This is correct. The actual death bed is indeed at the Chicago History Museum. I saw it in 2016. The actual rocking chair he was sitting in when he got shot, is at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI....ironically about 100 feet or so away from the presidential limo that John F Kennedy was shot in as he rode through Dallas. They are both in the same building.

[@VickieBell-z7x]

I read a book about John wilkes booth and I also read a book about Abraham Lincoln I get books by mail from the napa county library beautiful ford's theater and nice museum I would love to see it good vlog jordan

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

Beautiful Job on this one Jordan. I use to live in Maryland between Washington, D.C. and Surratsville where the Bording house was. Where Booth hid out. So much Amazing History in that area. WELL DONE ! 😊

[@lindamcnamara7803]

That was amazing such rich history. Thank you for sharing.

[@mikecapps1603]

I was there many years ago, back when President Reagan was in office, and when we went there Fords theater was closed so President Reagan could be there, so we only got to go to the boarding house and tour it. Thanks Jordan for doing the theater tour so I could see it.

[@billyharper7328]

Amazing video!!!! Thanks Jordon!!!!!

[@jarrodwetherington3919]

I went to Ford’s Theater in 1999 and back then they let you walk up to see the balcony behind plexiglass or ropes (can’t quite remember). Essentially you were looking at their seats from behind giving you the perspective Booth would’ve had. Also, the pillow was still at the Petersen house in a glass case on top of the bed where Lincoln died.

[@steveperry921]

Same here (1995). I remember that too about the pillow and Booth's viewpoint.

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

I went on a 7th grade field trip back in 96 and yeah I remember that about Lincoln's balcony, you could see in it from the doorway and I'm pretty sure it was blocked off with velvet rope but I could be wrong, it has been 28 years lol

[@blaketrottman4052]

Thank you Jordan for all you do!!!!

[@marylouruss1087]

Thanks for the history lesson. I so enjoyed this. Fantastic job. I always love Lincoln History. I cried when i saw the pillow. Thank you so much

[@brianb.5473]

Jordan have you saw the old 1950s game show episode of I've got a secret that had the old gentleman on it that was in the threatre the night it happened? It's on KZbin if you haven't saw it.

[@milantoombs6696]

You did a very good job with this video, thank you Jordan 👍🏻😉

[@johnny5g.154]

I took a boat to the island/military prison (the dry torgugas) off the coast of key west where the doctor was sent for treating Booth after he broke his leg. Even though the doctor didn’t know how Booth had hurt his leg and was just doing his job, the doctor was still tried and convicted of treason. Crazy time in history!

[@tdecker2937]

If you’re referring to Dr. Samuel Mudd, he knew exactly who he was treating, he was familiar with John Wilkes Booth and supported his cause. The reality was, he should have also probably received a death sentence.

[@Alveyjr21]

​@tdecker2937 I read that he knew him, but didn't know he killed the President for a couple of days. That's when he made him leave.

[@oldermusiclover]

thank you Jordan always wanted to see this in person

[@JacobWaller]

I saw a video about this last night from a park ranger giving a tour of the house who went into more detail and i didn't know but the bed is a replica of what the bed looked like back then.

[@evancortez2]

Baptist alley behind the theater is where Booth made his escape, not too many tourists find their way back there

[@MiJacFan1]

I've been to his house a couple of times, his gravesite (HUGE), and the Presidential Library and Museum. This was quite fascinating and educational. He was one of the greats!

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks I never know anything like this about him I just learned some history I enjoyed watching

[@Paul-yw8bx]

The original bed he died in is at the Chicago History Museum. They also have Mary Todd Lincoln's blood splattered dress on display. 😢

[@frankhoward6645]

Interesting items as always great job Jordan must have been quite the experience touring

[@freebird8163]

Thank you! Wow…. This was absolutely AMAZING to watch! How incredible to stand in history. I appreciate your work. ❤

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you!

[@debbiejones3911]

Excellent video Jordan. I think people used to say "your name is mud" because of Dr. Mudd.

[@billyhazelwood1965]

Awesome video! At one time,if I’m not mistaken,the actual pillow and pillow case that Lincoln laid on was encased on the bed. From your video,it looks like it’s not that way anymore

[@FrankensteinLover]

Oh Honest Abe, this would be so Surreal to see all that and take it in. Truly loved seeing this Video. Tha ks for this one.

[@janemacdonald1723]

Hi! GREAT video! I enjoy all of your stuff... Thank You!

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

I was there on a 7th grade field trip back in April of 96! In the same order too! Lol the theater then the museum and then finally The boarding House and room where Lincoln died. It was like a weird flashback back to 96 and 13 y/o me lol but back then they had Lincoln's actual blood stained overcoat on display down there. That was crazy to see!!

[@steveperry921]

I'm reading a book about this right now called "Manhunt". Thanks, Jordan.

[@ck4426]

Thank you for this interesting video and commentary. The actual bed that Lincoln died in is at the Chicago History Museum.

[@torav8343]

I went there in 2018 it still seems so surreal sitting in such a historical place it also felt surreal seeing the chair lincoln was shot in

[@The49ersfan1]

Thank You For The Video! Inspired Enough To Go Down To My Local Library And Check Out A Book On Abraham Lincoln's Life!

[@MaryS-mg9ij]

You always go to the great places and educate us/ Thank You

[@susanhumphrey6336]

My daughter and I were there a few weeks ago, on April 14, the anniversary of the assassination. Everything was so interesting to see.

[@KansasCityLights]

I was just there yesterday. I was very bummed to learn that everything in the theater was built in the 1960’s. Recreated to appear as close to what it looked like then. The floor then was dirt and straw. The seats were wicker. After President Lincoln’s assassination they gutted the building and it was used as a 3 story office building to store documents. 22 people died when one of those floors collapsed. I still has the same outside walls. The picture of George Washington is original. If only it could talk.

[@hooker9453]

It was gutted down to just the walls at one point.

[@KansasCityLights]

@@hooker9453you are right. Everything is just a replica. I was so bummed when I found this out when I visited the theater.

[@mariaday712]

Very interesting video. I didn't know the gun that killed Lincoln was on display anywhere. Busy tour. Thank for taking us on this tour. Take care.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

There were groups of kids touring all day long.. pretty busy place the two hours I was there

[@jennifer_m.8613]

Went to DC in 1999. Visitied Ford's Theater, but did not go up in the presidential box; in the picture my mom took, you can see the terrified look on my face. Did not know they still use the theater as an operating business. Also just learned this year rhat April 15, 1865 was Good Friday - why on earth was a joyful activity even an option on that particular night?!

[@orionsector]

Very fascinating! Thanks Jordan!

[@perryjohnson6248]

I have to admit this is very interesting.History to me never gets old.It's always something behind it all the time.And falls the Lincoln assassination.Plot and all is concerned you should check out.The movie called the Lincoln conspiracy star and Bradford dealman.That is one superb great movie and I recommend every history fan to watch that

[@brianhumphrey6791]

Great video Jordan

[@kenlandon7803]

I think Major Rathbone was the person who was stabbed. Rathbone made an effort to stop Boothe.

[@jillgross6232]

I loved my trip to Ford's Theater as a senior in high school. This is my 40 year reunion, so it's been 40 years in June that I went. Where does the time go??? 😂😂😂

[@roxanaobrien4936]

Very interesting, thank you very much !

[@bryonhogg485]

Major Rathbone - Who attended the play with Lincoln with his fiance - Clara Harris - Killed her and spent the remainder of his life in an insane asylum - Dying in 1911 - 46 yrs after the assassination . . .
