A Visit with Mary & Abraham Lincoln

A Visit with Mary & Abraham Lincoln In-Person

Abraham and Mary Lincoln: the Long and the Short of It. Steve and Sharon Wood of Claremont, NH will present 'Abraham and Mary Lincoln: the Long and the Short of It,' a living history program set in 1861. Having only recently arrived in Washington, the Lincolns are seen spending some quiet time together and reminiscing about the distinctly different paths that led each of them to Springfield, Illinois, where they met, married and began their family. Despite their different backgrounds, they shared strong political ambitions and worked together to secure Lincoln’s election to the Presidency. After the program, the Woods will step out of character and answer audience questions.
