An Evening at President Lincoln's Cottage – Sunday, October 15

History of President Lincoln's Cottage

During the Civil War, the Lincolns moved their family from the White House to a cottage on a hilltop overlooking the city.  They made this move three summers in a row, in the midst of a war that threatened the country they held so dear.  At this location, President Lincoln made some of his most critical decisions.  While in residence at the Cottage, Lincoln visited with wounded soldiers, spent time with self-emancipated men, women and children, and developed the Emancipation Proclamation.  The human cost of the Civil War surrounded him, undoubtedly impacted his thinking, and strengthened his resolve to challenge the status quo.

Join us for this unique opportunity

As you travel from the Marriott Marquis to the Cottage along President Lincoln's former commute to the retreat, docents will provide historic insight into the Washington, DC, of Lincoln's day. 
 
Upon arriving, you will enjoy cocktails and hors d'ouvres as you peruse the exhibits in the Robert H. Smith Visitor's Center and interact with docents in the Cottage who will share ancedotes of Lincoln's life in the home.
 
Dinner will be served on replica Lincoln china on the lawn of the Cottage.
