The Winter Meeting of the Waterbury Historical Society will begin with the
business meeting at 7pm followed by the program. Howard Coffin will
present "Lincoln and Vermont" on Wednesday, January 29 at 7:30pm
at the American Legion Post 59 , 16 Stowe St, Waterbury.
Beginning with Lincoln's preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, and
continuing through the consecration of the National Soldiers Cemetery
in Gettysburg, historian Howard Coffin traces how Lincoln's leadership
of the Federal Law efforts and his political canniness shaped the
relationship between the president and Vermont, a state Lincoln admired though never visited.
The program is free and open to the public and accessible to people
with disabilities. This is a Vermont Humanities Council event under
grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and is hosted
by the Waterbury Historical Society.
Refreshments will be served and the Historical Society will be celebrating Dr. Henry Janes' 181st birthday. All are welcome
