Misinterpreting Mary tour

Our newest guided tour will take guests through the Museum to learn more about Mary Lincoln’s life before, during and after Abraham Lincoln. Twice each Wednesday from January 8 through March 11, our interpreters will lead you in a discussion of Mary’s crucial contributions to Lincoln’s political career and her influence during the White House years. You’ll also learn about the losses she had to endure throughout her life and how those losses contributed to Mary’s behavior – especially in her later years. Was she insane? The answer, much like Mary, is complicated.
