Abraham Lincoln: A New Birth of Freedom
Join us at the Tinley Park Historical Society for a first-hand account from Abraham Lincoln himself of the history of the United States of America during his time, from his childhood on the frontier to the twelve turbulent years from 1854 to 1865 which nearly destroyed our young nation but instead eventually resulted in a “new birth of freedom." This event is sponsored in part by the Tinley Park Historical Society. Signup required.
Speaker Bio: Kevin Wood portrays President Abraham Lincoln, one of our nation's most beloved and esteemed historical figures. He has made appearances at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, the Lincoln Heritage Museum, and the Chicago History Museum, among many other places and events.
