Mary Todd Lincoln: First Lady of Tragedy & the Woman Lincoln Loved

This engaging living history presentation by Marge Harding will bring to life the story of Mary Todd Lincoln – a story of both tragedy and triumph. As a young girl she was vivacious and impulsive until her mother died; then she remembered her childhood as desolate. The Lincoln’s early years brought hard work, a family of boys, a strong connection to Oregon, and reduced circumstances to the pleasure-loving girl who had never felt responsibility before. Join us for this special presentation of our 16th First Lady.
