The interactive event is designed for children ages 5-10, but all are welcome.

Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (last entrance at 3 p.m.) on Monday, February 17. Allow one hour for your visit. Please note, entrance is subject to capacity limits. The Mary Todd Lincoln House is located at 578 West Main Street in downtown Lexington.

The Mary Todd Lincoln House is the childhood home of Mrs. Lincoln. She brought her husband and children to visit the Todd family here in 1847. The first historic site restored to honor a first lady, the museum’s mission is to cultivate public interest in the multilayered past by sharing the story of a woman whose experiences resonate today. Further info at www.mtlhouse.org.
