Event Details
Abraham Lincoln, portrayed by renowned re-enactor Kevin Wood, relates the history of the United States during his time, from his childhood on the frontier to the turbulent years from 1854 to 1865 which nearly destroyed our young nation, but instead eventually resulted in a “new birth of freedom”. Mr. Lincoln quotes from his best-known speeches and writings and brings history to life. Mr. Wood bears a remarkable resemblance to “the Great Emancipator” and is extremely knowledgeable about his life and times. He has performed as Lincoln over 2,300 times in 33 states as well as in Canada and Spain.
