Lincoln’s Funeral Pageant – A Nation Grieves its Martyred President

Brian Flora, Civil War historian, brings to life the 20-day, elaborate funeral procession of our beloved US president. Dubbed “The Lincoln Special”; traveling 1,645 miles, it stopped in 12 major cities transfiguring Lincoln from a mortal man to a martyred saint; a symbol of sacrifice for the 360,00 Union soldiers and sailors who gave their lives for their country. Doors open 6:45, Program 7:30. Refreshments, cash bar.
