Abraham and Mary Lincoln: The Long and the Short of It
THIS EVENT IS BEING HELD AT TOWN HALL!!
The Southwick Historical Society and the Southwick Public Library are pleased to have Stephen and Sharon Wood present their program Abraham and Mary Lincoln: The Long and the Short of It on Sunday, September 16th at 2 p.m. in the auditorium at the Southwick Town Hall located at 454 College Highway in Southwick.
Stephen and Sharon Wood will present a living history program set in 1861. Having only recently arrived in Washington, the Lincolns are seen spending some quiet time together, 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. The presentation will be followed by an out-of-character question-and-answer session.
This program is made possible through a grant from the Southwick Cultural Council, a local agency, supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a State agency. Travel expenses for the performers were provided by the Friends of the Southwick Public Library.
