Lincoln at the White House
Course | Registration opens 8/4/2025 8:00 AM EDT
Did you know that fifteen presidents had preceded Lincoln but only one, John Tyler twenty years earlier, raised young children while living in the White House? Thus, the constant presence of children would be a new experience for the domestic staff, cabinet members, as well as those visiting the Executive Mansion from 1861-1865. Pastor Curt Weber will be showing a PowerPoint presentation of what happened to the Lincoln family in each room at the White House as well as on the grounds which later would have the address 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
