Hybrid Program

Abraham Lincoln first saw Independence Hall during his 1848 visit to Philadelphia.  He visited Philadelphia four times and was moved spiritually and emotionally by each visit.  From his participation in the National Convention, his speech to the citizens of Philadelphia on his way to Washington, his attendance at the Sanitary Fair, or his final trip home in 1865.  Philadelphia was special to President Lincoln.  Join historical lecturer and tour guide Michael Jesberger for a presentation on the President’s time in Philadelphia before, during and after the American Civil War.

About the presenter: Michael Jesberger is an independent military historian who specializes in the American Revolution and Civil War time periods. He is a member of numerous history-based organizations and active in the reenactment community.
