"I discovered that Ford's Theatre—like the surrender house at Appomattox—presents a version of history that isn't fully authentic: the buildings visitors see are reconstructions and the originals are long gone, yet tourists are rarely told that, which made me question how much of what we venerate as 'historic' is actually curated myth." - Matthew Kepnes
