Yellowstone geology is tied to a process that began in deep time and continues to the present. It has shaped the surface of the western United States. Spend an hour with Outreach Educator George Miller from the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and explore the forces that have shaped Yellowstone and the West.
Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre
Tuesday, October 21, 2:00 PM
On the morning of April 14, 1865 (Good Friday), actor John Wilkes Booth learned President Abraham Lincoln would attend a performance of the comedy Our American Cousin that night at Ford’s Theatre—a theatre Booth frequently performed at. He realized his moment had arrived.
By 10:15 that evening, the comedy was well into its last act. In the Presidential Box, President and Mrs. Lincoln and their guests, Major Henry Rathbone and his fiancée, Clara Harris, laughed at the show along with the audience—not knowing that Booth was just outside the door. Join us as visit once again this event that changed history- and maybe learn something we never knew before!
