The Making of the Lincoln Memorial and the words of Abraham Lincoln:

A Centennial Performance at Chesterwood with Lincoln Scholar and Daniel Chester French biographer Harold Holzer and acclaimed Broadway and tv/film actor Rufus Collins.

From Lincoln’s Farewell to Springfield (1861) to the Second Inaugural (1865), Holzer will take you through the story of the making of the Lincoln Memorial, the battle over the art inside, the fight over Lincoln’s words on the walls, and the major but imperfect dedication event in 1922. Readings of prose and poetry by Broadway and tv/film actor Rufus Collins (Law & Order, Mozart in the Jungle).
If you are a Lincoln buff, this is a not to be missed event!
