It will be at the Museum through May 20.
At 6 p.m., Krebs and Miller will participate in “Interpreting Lincoln: Yesterday and Today,” a discussion of President Lincoln’s legacy and how it has grown. They will share their perspectives as living historians and the lessons they have learned from President and Mrs. Lincoln. Participating virtually will be Michael Atwood Mason, the CEO and Executive Director of President Lincoln’s Cottage, a historic site and museum in Washington, D.C.
