Mary Todd Lincoln lived a life filled with triumphs and tragedies, but few know her story. Listen in as she reflects on the loves of her life – her children, her husband, and her country.
Librarian Laura Keyes shares Mary’s story in an entertaining and educational program titled “Mrs. Lincoln in Love,” which is set on January 31, 1862, when Mrs. Lincoln and her family are settled comfortably in the Executive Mansion. Visiting with ladies during afternoon tea, Mrs. Lincoln reflects on the loves of her life – her children, her husband, and her country. She even shares some of Mr. Lincoln’s love letters! Learn how Mary’s knowledge of both politics and social customs made it possible for a backwoods frontier attorney to achieve the highest office in the land.
