190 YEARS AGO (1826)
A new theatre opens in Nashville, one of the city’s first, with Soldier’s Daughter and the farce Turn Out. The proprietor is James H. Caldwell, who previously established theatres in Virginia and New Orleans. Over the next few years, Caldwell will also set up shop in St. Louis and Alabama.
145 YEARS AGO (1871)
Ford’s Grand Opera House opens in Baltimore. The theatre’s namesake, founder and owner John T. Ford, is also the proprietor of Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C., where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. This new theatre in the Monumental City will hold a less notorious place in presidential history: It will be the site of Horace Greeley’s nomination as the Liberal Republican Party’s candidate for the 1872 election.
