To commemorate the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s untimely death, President Lincoln’s Cottage created an array of programs examining the enduring legacy of his life and ideas, including a special exhibit, a live retracing of Lincoln’s horseback commute, a memorial tribute inspired by 19th-century mourning practices, and the first annual Lincoln Ideas Forum on April 10th.
Executive Director Erin Carlson Mast shared a recap of the Lincoln Ideas Forum with Preservation Nation, the official blog of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Learn more about the Forum, and enjoy a brief excerpt from Milton Shinberg’s presentation on the impact of the Cottage itself on Lincoln, in this blog post: http://blog.preservationnation.org/2015/04/23/i-see-the-president-lincoln-ideas-forum-abraham-lincoln-legacy/#.VTpK6JPznOg.
