Celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday!
Sunday, February 12th, 2023 | 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Join us in resuming a pre-COVID tradition of celebrating Lincoln’s birthday, this time with cake, liquid refreshment, and stories. When Abraham Lincoln, then an obscure Illinois lawyer, spoke about the Dred Scott case, the response propelled him to the Presidency. Many members of the Institute Library and the New Haven community have stories, poems, and memories linked somehow to Lincoln. This is your chance to share them!
