UNLOCKING THE LINCOLN LETTER: A CONVERSATION ABOUT LINCOLN AND THE CITY OF YONKERS

On Wednesday, June 19, Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site will hold its first of a series of lunch lectures called Lunches with History. The topic of the first Lunches with History will be Unlocking the Lincoln Letter. In this hour-long conversation, participants will discover one of Philipse Manor Hall’s most unique artifacts—- a letter from Abraham Lincoln to the City of Yonkers. Participants will learn about Lincoln’s involvement and legacy in Yonkers, as well as the rest of the country during the turbulent Civil War period. The lecture begins at 12:00 p.m and ends at 1:00 p.m.
