Activities for Lincoln Day include military drills with re-enactors from the 22nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Company A and the 7th Tennessee Company G. Visitors can see Infantrymen firing their rifles as they warm up by the camp fire on the grounds of FHM.

The United States Sanitary Commission Boston Branch (the 22nd Massachusetts ladies civilian group) and the Attleboro GOP Re-enactors will offer interactive exhibits. First Lady, Mary Todd Lincoln, will make a guest appearance, inspecting and addressing the troops.

The FHM Lincoln Cabin will be open to visitors. Hot chocolate will be served in the tradition begun by Mary Bowditch Forbes in 1924. Suggested donation for Lincoln Day is $5 per family.
