Seymour Historical Society to host historian's online program about Lincoln


SEYMOUR -  The Seymour Historical Society will host an online program about Abraham Lincoln at 2 p.m. Feb. 27 presented by Connecticut historian Mark Albertson. 

Abraham Lincoln's most famous speech is, of course, The Gettysburg Address. But the stakes were even higher on March 4, 1861, when the 16th president first took office. America was divided. The issue of slavery seemed destined to tear apart the country. 

In this timely program Albertson will dissect Lincoln's first Inaugural Address, explaining how the president tried to ease tensions, reassure Southerners and - unsuccessfully, it would turn out - stave off Civil War.

Save the date for Seymour Pink's 13th annual pasta dinner at Brookside Inn in Oxford



Sharing from the Seymour Pink Facebook page:

"Our fundraising roots are in this event.
"Thirteen years ago Sara and Gary Morgatto said 'yes' to us holding a pasta dinner at their restaurant, Brookside Inn.
"What many people don’t know, is that when I ask them what would the cost be, they said $0 dollars this is our contribution to the fight!!!!
"It has been that way for the last 12 years and will again continue this year. A huge shout out to Brookside Inn and the Morgatto‘s for their unending generosity!!!

"If you are interested in donating a raffle basket or item for this event, or for our May Pink Night to Remember, please reach out to us. We very much appreciate your support and consideration!!"
