Eastern National is the Fords Theatre National Historic Site cooperating association. They operate the store in the museum to broaden the public's understanding of the park and its stories. Eastern National donates a portion of the store proceeds to visitor services and interpretation projects. They also help the park provide publications that it couldn't otherwise. Visit the Eastern National webpage for more information on their partnership with the National Park Service

Peterson House

The dying President was carried out of Ford’s Theatre and across 10th St. into the home of William and Anna Petersen.  There the lives of the Petersen family members were forever changed by extraordinary events.  Government officials arrived, Mrs. Lincoln grieved, and Mr. Lincoln died.
