Edwin's home

Furnished home picture When Edwin died his home was used as a retirement home for actors.

This is Edwin's home when it was refurnished most of the home

back then homes only had one bathroom and because his home was made

into a retirement home for actors and it was only one bathroom

people had to refurnish it in oder for the building to be used.

When people would come to Edwin's home

He would have his different signitures

because many different people would come

visit his home and have a good time.

Edwin Forrest Elementary..

Edwin Forrest Elementary School has is one of the most highly devoted schools

to teaching their student, They pride themselves on being a school that not only teaches their students the education they need to go on and survive in the future years as students but they prepare their students for the real world. Most students come from Forrest being a leader, someone that contributes and gives their all to any and every oppurtunity that is put infront of them. Having gone to Forrest Elementary myself I am a living product on what that school provided me and the education they gave me in order to have gone to two Special admission schools, AMY Northwest Middle school and Now I attend one of the best schools in the country Science Leadership Academy. Edwin forrest contributed everything he had to the American people His parents having been from different countries Edin tried real hard to show that American theatre was not only for American but for those who had a drive and intrest in being something more than just the "Norm." I am sure that Edwin Forrest would be priviliaged to know that all he has deticated to the country and American plays specifically his works in Shakespeare have not gone un-noticed but have been merely honered.

Edwin Forrst Live a long and full life

not only did he provide the the world with his talent

but even after he died he wanted other people who

provided the same talent to be given a home where they would

talk about all of their experiences. and reminice on the different places and things they had seen aorund the world. I personally commend

Edwin for being the incredible and remarkable man that he was he did not want to be a person whi knew he could offer somthing to the world and give but he wanted to show that we all have a purpoes in life and when that purpose is fufilled we see the true beauty in art, culture anf life.

Aster place Riot

The dispute began over the issue ofwho was a better actor when it came to

Shakphere and his known plays around the world.

Edwin's supporters known as Partians were fighting with

Macready's supporters and that lead to a mass blood massacre many died

and many were injured. But this shows just how important theatre was

for many different people back in the 1800s.
