From The Ford’s Theater (fords.org):
In the new Center for Education and Leadership, visitors will explore the lasting effect Abraham Lincoln’s presidency—and its untimely end—have had on our country.
Currently under construction and set to open in February 2012, the new Center will be located at 514 10th Street, NW, across the street from the theatre and adjacent to the Petersen House, where Lincoln died.
The Center plans include two floors of permanent exhibits centered on Lincoln’s assassination and its aftermath, as well as the evolution of Lincoln’s legacy; two floors of education studios for workshops, school programs, and teacher professional development; and a Leadership Gallery floor for short-term exhibits, lectures, and receptions.
The Center opens on Lincoln’s birthday, February 12, with special President’s Day events scheduled for February 20th.
