Holidays at Lincoln Home Program (at SAA)

Edwards Place's final talk for the Historic Homes lecture series this fall will be about Holidays at the Lincoln Home. Curator Susan Haake of Lincoln Home National Historic Site will discuss the use of the Lincolns' home, with particular focus on their celebration of Christmas.

In addition, this program includes time for a 19th-century holiday cornucopia craft to follow the lecture! Seating will be somewhat limited to accommodate space for crafting.

This event is free and open to the public!
