I came across this video on youtube of a segment from the tv show 'I've Got A Secret'. 

I am a history buff so this was interesting to me to see someone who was at one of the most shocking events in American history. 

Abraham Lincoln was killed on Good Friday, April 14, 1865, while attending the play Our American Cousin at Ford's Theater as the American Civil War was drawing to a close.

The show segment featured an actual eye witness to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

I thought I would share it here in case there would be interest. 

The show is from Feb 9, 1956. 

It's kinda hard to see but is still watchable.
