Local resident Richard Sloan, a well known student of the Lincoln assassination, will present his popular multi-media talk, “You are there-at Lincoln’s New York City Funeral.” Through old photos, woodcuts, music, and sound effects, he will transport us back in time and make us eyewitnesses to this great and solemn two-day event, which is one of the greatest funerals New York City has ever mounted. Mr. Sloan will then take us on a brief “walking” tour and show us some of the sites along the route of the procession as they appeared in 1865 and as they look today. No Registration Required.
