The Office of Alumni Relations hosts alumni for the Lincoln and New York exhibit that brings to life the period between Lincoln’s decisive entrance into the city’s life at the start of the 1860 Presidential campaign, to his departure from it in 1865 as a secular martyr. An introductory multi-media presentation will begin the tour that follows the railroad journey that carried Lincoln to New York in February 1860. In the six galleries that follow, you will discover the interconnections between those two unlikely partners; the ambitious western politician with scant national experience, and the metropolis that had become America’s capital of commerce and publishing. The evening will include a docent-led tour of the Lincoln and New York exhibit followed by a reception.
