COURT HOUSE – The Museum of Cape May County will host a free lecture that will bring to life the wit and wisdom of one of our nation’s greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln was a self-taught man who began life in poverty and through hard work and study rose from a rail splitter to the Presidency of the United States, where he undertook the task of holding the nation together throughout the constitutional crisis of the American Civil War.
In his portrayal of Lincoln, historian Bob Gleason will talk about the formative years of this great man through his courtship and marriage to Mary Todd, the development of his abolitionist viewpoint and Lincoln’s first trip to Congress. Gleason will expand upon how Lincoln raised himself up from humble beginnings to become the man who united a splintered nation and reaffirmed our dedication to freedom, democracy and equality.
Offered by The Museum as part of its mission in educating, sharing and preserving history, this program is funded by the Horizons Speakers Bureau of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities and is produced by the American Historical Theatre.
This free lecture takes place Sat., July 15 at 7 p.m. inside Military Room of The Museum’s historic barn, 504 Route 9 North in Cape May Court House. For additional information please contact The Museum at 609-465-3535 or visit www.cmcmuseum.org.
