Date:
Wednesday, 11/08/2023
Time: 7:00 pm

Category:


Mr. Lincoln talks about his most famous speech (debunking some myths!), including the background and context to the familiar phrases, some interesting events happening at the same time, and the extremely varied responses to his speech. This program is structured more as a one-man play than a lecture.  This program is most appropriate for adults and for children from nine years old on up. It runs approximately 60 minutes and is followed by an additional time of Q&A, photos, and informal interaction.

About the Presenter:

Mr. Lincoln is portrayed by Kevin Wood, a professional Lincoln presenter who bears a remarkable resemblance to “the Great Emancipator” and who is extremely knowledgeable about his life and times. Mr. Wood has been portraying Mr. Lincoln for 22 years. He has made over 1,500 appearances in 31 states plus Washington DC and two foreign countries: Canada and Spain. Mr. Wood also writes a blog – “Loath to Close… Still!” – which encourages others to reflect upon and learn from President Lincoln’s life and legacy. For more information, visit www.mrlincoln.com.
