Lincoln and Thanksgiving

Join us at the Battle Creek Regional History Museum as we present a special program 'Lincoln & Thanksgiving'. Abraham Lincoln, portrayed by renowned re-enactor Kevin Wood, relates the story of how our national, annual observance of the Thanksgiving holiday came to be established during his Presidency. He explains his Thanksgiving proclamation in the context of the Civil War and the nation’s history up to that point, and also shares the story of Sarah Josepha Hale, the writer and editor who tirelessly advocated for the new holiday.

Tickets are $10.

This is a limited seating event. Please reserve your tickets soon!

All proceeds benefit the Battle Creek Regional History Museum.
