A Visit with Abraham Lincoln-A Living History Event

The Richmond Historical Society and the Richmond Public Library will host “A Visit with Abraham Lincoln,” a living history presentation by Steve Wood, at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 25, at the Veterans Hall. The program, free and open to the public, is funded in part by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities.  President Lincoln will tell the story of his visit to New Hampshire in 1860, after his Cooper Union Address in New York City, and his subsequent nomination and election to the Presidency. After the program, Wood will step out of character and take questions from the audience. Wood, from Claremont, has been speaking as Abraham Lincoln for historical societies, libraries, schools, and community events throughout New England since 1995. He is retired, having worked for nearly thirty years with UNH Cooperative Extension as an Extension Educator in Forest Resources.
