Mrs.
Lincoln:
The First “First Lady”!
Starring
Laura F. Keyes,
as Mary Todd Lincoln
Sunday, April 13, 2025
Smyrna Community Center
Ticketed event that includes a tea service at intermission.
Mary
Todd Lincoln lived a life filled with triumphs and tragedies,
but few people know her story. Now, librarian Laura Keyes
shares Mary’s story in an entertaining and educational
program entitled “Mrs. Lincoln: The First ‘First
Lady,’” focusing on the life and losses of Mrs.
Lincoln, set on April 14, 1865.
This
program depicts an extraordinarily important time in our
nation’s history from a point of view that is not often
explored. Learn how Mary Lincoln influenced monumental events
in her lifetime and why her story is still relevant today.
Biography:
Laura Keyes graduated from UW-Madison with a Master’s
Degree in Library Studies, and is Director of the Dunlap
Public Library. Laura is a lifetime member of the Association
of Lincoln Presenters, and recently won the Mary Todd Lincoln
Oratory Contest at the Lincoln Days celebration in Hodgenville,
KY.
