[March 04, 2022]
Take a look behind-the-curtain into the
home-life of the Lincoln family, and how they raised their four
sons. We most often think about Abraham and Mary Lincoln as
president and First Lady, but they were also devoted parents. Join
Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum Lincoln Historian
Dr. Christian McWhirter for an intimate glimpse into the family life
of the Lincolns.

Viewers can watch and participate in
the program live on Wednesday, March 9, 2022 at 7 pm on the Looking
for Lincoln YouTube and Facebook video channels. Questions can be
submitted by viewers during the event.

“We are proud to host this series of Looking for Lincoln
conversations,” says Sarah Watson, Executive Director of Looking for
Lincoln. “These live, digital programs cover a range of topics that
depict the life and times of Abraham Lincoln in the Abraham Lincoln
National Heritage Area. Few individuals have so profoundly
influenced American history as did Abraham Lincoln. Millions around
the world are inspired by the story of Lincoln's rise from humble
beginnings to President of the United States, his qualities of
integrity and courage and his decisive leadership traits that
carried a fragile nation through one of its most trying periods.”
