The Lincolns and Manchester: A Commemorative Talk at Hildene by Shawn Harrington Celebrating 120 years since the Lincoln Family moved into Hildene

Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home 1005 Hildene Road, Manchester, VT, United States

Join Manchester Historical Society Curator Shawn Harrington at Hildene’s Lincoln Hall for a glimpse into life in Manchester around 1905, when Robert Todd and Mary Harlan Lincoln settled at Hildene. Harrington will also discuss Mary Todd Lincoln’s Civil War-era visits to The Equinox House and the family's return in the 1890s to visit Robert’s law partner, Edward S. Isham— visits that inspired the Lincolns to want to build their ancestral home, Hildene, in Manchester.
