Virtual Program: Spiritualism and the Tragedy of Mary Lincoln

Spiritualism and the Tragedy of Mary Lincoln presented by Jessie Cortesi. Join us via Zoom at 2 pm!

Join us on Zoom at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, for an exploration of the extremely popular Spiritualist movement of the Victorian period and how Mary Lincoln coped with grief through her involvement in it. Mourning the loss of her husband and three of her four children, Mrs. Lincoln found consolation in the belief that the living could communicate with the dead.
