Abraham Lincoln had an unusual and ongoing relationship with New York State: as a visitor, as President-Elect, as President, and later as iconic martyr.  In turn, the Empire State forged a unique and important relationship with its wartime leader.  Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer examines the 16^th President’s dealings with the nation’s most populous and important state, and the role New York played in the social, military, economic, and technological upheavals of the Civil War.

Admission is $10 per person, seating is limited.
