INFO

Stop by the Gin Mill & Lounge on South 5th Street after work on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, at 5:30pm to grab a drink and explore Abraham Lincoln’s deep love of music during "History Happy Hour."

ALPLM’s Lincoln Historian, Dr. Christian McWhirter, and our own “Cowboy Randy,” Randy Erwin will present this special presentation and musical performance. Hear some of Lincoln’s favorite songs as he would have heard them. Learn their stories and what they tell us about America’s greatest president. And enjoy a glimpse into this often-forgotten corner of American culture during our nation’s most critical period.

All attendees must be 21 or older.

History Happy Hour is a partnership program between the Illinois State Museum and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
