Now He Belongs to the Ages

I can hardly believe that the 150th anniversary of President Lincoln's assassination is almost here.

Tomorrow night Ford's Theatre will be hosting "Now He Belongs to the Ages: A Lincoln Commemoration." This once in a lifetime event will be "a moving commemorative tribute to President Abraham Lincoln, 150 years to the day since his assassination" and will include "readings of Lincoln’s words and stories, Civil War-era music, excerpts from Lincoln’s favorite theatre and operas, and more. The event seeks to remind us that we not only lost a president; we lost a man who treasured his family, his friends and his country with a love so strong it could hold the Union together."


For those who could not secure tickets, the event will be streamed live at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D. C. and online at the Ford's Theatre website.

Also, check back here (and on the BoothieBarn twitter) for updates throughout the evening.

It's about to go down, everyone.

XOXO, Kate
