Christmas with the Lincolns

Dec
19–25

Celebrate Christmas and New Years Day at the Lincoln Home with typical 1860 holiday decorations. Greenery, poinsettias, a cloved orange pyramid, and ropes of cranberries give the house a festive appearance. Find out what the Lincolns might have given each other as gifts, what special foods were on their holiday menu and why they didn’t have a Christmas tree.
