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.
