Lincoln’s Last Hours
The Milford Museum American History Series will continue on Saturday, April 12, at 1:00 p.m. at the Milford Public Library in Milford, Delaware. Author Kathryn Canavan will be presenting a program titled Lincoln’s Final Hours about the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The presentation will focus on the perspective of the ordinary people who were in the audience at Ford's Theatre, and the fascinating individuals who boarded at the house directly across the street where the president spent his final hours. Canavan will show how these people became caught up in the tragedy and had information that Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and the Metropolitan Police did not. Just weeks before the assassination, John Wilkes Booth had napped on the same bed where President Lincoln eventually struggled for his life. They were ordinary people caught up in an extraordinary event – the nation’s first presidential assassination.
Presented by Milford Museum.
