HTP EP 17: Murder at Ford's Theater

04/30/21 • 139 min

In our first bonus episode of Season 2, we hang out with our very good friend Jana Friesen McCabe, who is currently the Chief of Interpretation and Guest Services at Monocacy National Battlefield. Previously in Jana's career in the Park Service, she spent time as an interpretive ranger at Ford's Theater, site of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln! We thought it would be super cool to get her unique perspective on the murder plot and assassination of President Lincoln as it pertained to Ford's Theater!
