The museum under the theater is really well done - it gives a feel for both Lincoln and Booth and how they came to April 14, 1865. The ranger program was - good, but somewhat rote; I think the large audience made it less interesting than many of the ranger talks we've heard. The house where Lincoln actually passed, across the road, was quite interesting in it's own right, and continued the story very well; I'd strongly recommend it.
Going into the day, the two things I'd most hoped to do were the Jefferson Memorial and Ford's Theatre, and they both lived up to expectations. FDR was the biggest surprise of the group.
