What better way to celebrate Presidents’ Day than with a visit with Abraham Lincoln? In this bicentennial year of Lincoln’s birth, the Concord Museum is pleased to once again host Steve Wood and his amazing performance as Abraham Lincoln. Matching Lincoln's height and beard, Wood bears enough of a resemblance to our 16th president to make heads turn even when not wearing black trousers, vest, frock coat, and stovepipe hat.
His first-person historical interpretation, 'A Visit with Abraham Lincoln,' includes stories of his early life, campaign debates with Stephen Douglas, and the Civil War that followed his election to the Presidency. Following a short discussion of the events leading up to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, he will close with a reading of the Gettysburg Address.
Steve Wood has performed at schools, libraries, historical societies, and community events since 1995, as well as in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution's traveling exhibit, 'American Originals.' Monday, February 16; 1:00-2:00; recommended for all ages, by reservation only; reserve early as space is limited. Nonmembers $10 adult/$5 child; Members $7adult/$3 child.
