Spiritualism and the Tragedy of Mary Lincoln

with the Rolland Center for Lincoln Research

Join us for a FREE virtual program on December 18 at 2:00 p.m. ET!

Enjoy an exploration of the extremely popular Spiritualist movement of the Victorian period and how Mary Lincoln coped with grief through her involvement in it. Mourning the loss of her husband and three of her four children, Mrs. Lincoln found consolation in the belief that the living could communicate with the dead.
