Join author Jan Cigliano Hartman for an evening exploring the fascinating story behind the words of Abraham Lincoln.

In her book Lincoln’s Speechwriter, Hartman brings to life the remarkable man who served as Lincoln’s trusted speechwriter and political advisor, examining his influence on Lincoln’s presidency and the political, personal, and historical forces that shaped one of America’s most transformative eras.

Hartman will be joined by special guest interviewer Charlie Bolton for a lively conversation, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Books will be available for purchase, with pre-signed copies available while supplies last.

This event is free with museum admission, but advanced registration is encouraged.
