The Mount Airy Museum of Regional History Talks series presents “Mr. Lincoln’s office: A Visit with the President,” a one-man performance based on the writings of Abraham Lincoln, at the Museum Annex on Sunday at 3 p.m.

The presentation, adapted and performed by veteran actor Peter Holland, has been acclaimed by the American Institute for History Education and enjoyed by audiences both young and old.

The point of view of the presentation is that the audience are visitors to Mr. Lincoln’s office in the White House sometime in November 1983. Aided by realistic make-up designed by Michael Meyer, Holland as Lincoln takes the audience back in his memory to his early boyhood in Kentucky and Indiana. Mr. Lincoln recalls his early political career, his fight against slavery, his election as president, the fiery trial of Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the creation of the Gettysburg Address. Throughout the 50-minute presentation, Mr. Lincoln relates many of his jokes and stories as a relief from the tragedy of war.

After the presentation, the president will be available for any questions from the audience.

Museum members are admitted free. There is a charge of $5 for non-members. Memberships will be available for purchase or renewal at the door.

The museum annex is at 144 W. Oak St. For additional information, contact Heather Elliott at 786-4478 or e-mail her at jhelliott@northcarolinamuseum.org.
