Several Lincoln-related community outreach programs are available in the commonwealth. They include:

Kentucky Humanities Council Chautauqua Performances featuring Abraham Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, Emilie Todd Helm, Margaret Garner, and Henry Clay.

Kentucky Historical Society Museum Theatre -- Productions include Back to the Bluegrass: Mary Todd Comes Home, which introduces students to the wife of one of America's greatest presidents and explores how an educated but emotional woman tried to cope with the tensions of being Abraham Lincoln's first lady.  For more information, contact Greg Hardison at greg.hardison@ky.gov.
