Congratulations to the Lincoln Society in Peekskill for another
excellent Annual Lincoln Remembrance Day. The Lincoln Depot Museum was
proud to once again be the location for the reenactment of the 1861
Lincoln Speech given by President-elect Lincoln to the citizens of
Peekskill and surrounding area. The only stop he made in Westchester on
his Inaugural Journey from his home in Springfield to Washington DC.
The weather was perfect for the Wreath Ceremony at the Lincoln Exedra on South Street and the march down to the Depot. Michael Macedonia did another wonderful reenactment as President-elect Lincoln. While portraying general Gouverneur K. Warren, local living history historian Rob Buccheri then made an outstanding presentation highlighting local connections to Lincoln and the Civil War. Special thanks to the members of the 5th NY Duryée Zouaves for participating in the event. SEE THE FLICKR PHOTO ALBUM AT https://www.flickr.com/photos/jgtesta22/sets/72157713228063262/
