Don't Miss: Lincoln Remembrance Day at the Depot Museum

Inspired by President-elect Abraham Lincoln’s stop in Peekskill on February 19, 1861, the Lincoln Depot Museum is also a tribute to the contributions of the State of New York to Lincoln’s elections and influence on a difficult period in the country’s history.

Westchester’s newest historical destination as of 2015, the museum was named “Best in Westchester” and “Hidden Gem” by Westchester Magazine.

The events Feb. 20 are jointly sponsored by the Lincoln Society and the Lincoln Depot Museum.
