Event Details

This program begins at 6:30 pm 

We are happy welcome back President Abraham Lincoln to our Library! In this presentation, Mr. Lincoln discusses his leadership values and style by sharing “16 precedents from the 16th President,” that is, 16 ways in which he strove to lead our nation and our people in his day (and in particular, during his Presidency). These include knowing your principles and stocking to them; changing with the times, recruiting a great team and more. For each of these 16 principles, he will provide one or more examples from his own life.

Mr. Lincoln is portrayed by Kevin Wood, a professional Lincoln presenter who bears a remarkable resemblance to “the Great Emancipator” and who is extremely knowledgeable about his life and times.  Mr. Wood has been portraying Mr. Lincoln since the year 2000, and on a professional basis since 2015.  He has made over 1,850 appearances in 33 states plus Washington DC and two foreign countries: Canada and Spain
