Lincoln at the Soldiers Office, and in Connecticut

I’ve just returned from Hildene in Vermont where I gave a presentation on how Lincoln’s time in New England helped bring him closer to the visions of the Founders of the United States.

Next up on May 9th I’ll be talking about my book, Lincoln in New England: In Search of His Forgotten Tours, at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office in Washington, DC. The talk is free for members and included in admission to the Museum (which includes a tour). More information here.

Then on May 19th I’ll be doing a special virtual presentation entitled “A Sucker Whig in Connecticut’s Court: Abraham Lincoln Comes to New England” for the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. The talk is free for all and can be accessed via Zoom. More information on registering and getting the link here.
