An Evening With Mary Todd Lincoln
The Rochester Women's Club has invited Jane Lawder to present her biographical sketch of Mary Todd Lincoln on February 14, 2012 in the Rochester Community Room at 7pm.
Ms. Lawder has devoted much of her free time to portraying the wife of the sixteenth president for school children, historical organizations as well as at other public functions.
Lawder's interest in Mary Todd evolved from volunteering at the Lincoln Home National Historical site. She has developed her interpretation and presentation over the years, refining her views of Mary's tragic life.
The public is welcome to attend at no charge. Light refreshments will be served.
