The Political Lincoln: Honest Abe on Campaigns and Elections

It is commonly said that Abraham Lincoln failed numerous times to be elected to various offices until he was finally elected President.  Come hear Mr. Lincoln himself prove the absurdity of that claim while describing his many interesting campaign and election experiences over a long and eventful career, during a time of political intrigue and tumult when the very destiny of our nation was at stake.  
From 1832 when a humble 23-year-old political newcomer sought his neighbors’ vote to be one of their state representatives to 1864 when a politically savvy, incumbent President – beloved by some and despised by others – strove to unite a fractured nation, Mr. Lincoln’s campaign and election history is educational, entertaining, and inspirational.
Mr. Lincoln is portrayed by Kevin Wood, a professional Lincoln presenter who bears a remarkable resemblance to Lincoln and is extremely knowledgeable about his life and times.  Mr. Wood has been portraying Mr. Lincoln since the year 2000, and on a professional basis since 2015.  He has made over 1,600 appearances.
