1865

150 years ago to the day.

President Lincoln died from injuries inflicted by John Wilkes Booth. 

I cant help but wonder what this country would like like had he never been assassinated

1871

“Wild Bill” Hickok became the marshal of Abilene, Kansas!

1912

The ‘unsinkable’ luxury liner, Titanic, sank at 2:27a.m.

She sank in the North Atlantic after hitting an iceberg the evening before.

1,517 people died and more than 700 people survived. 

1955

Ray Kroc opened the first McDonald’s in Des Plaines, Illinois! 

The first McDonald’s is no longer. It was torn down to build a newer McDonald’s restaurant across the street, but, throughout the world, “Billons And Billions Are Served”

and then lastly…

1983

Tokyo Disneyland opened!

The happiest place in the East!
