Nearly 150 years after she went to Washington, Mary Todd Lincoln remains one of our most controversial

First Ladies. Vivacious, flirtatious, and prone to fits of temper when she didn’t get her way, she was at

once charming and ambitious. Join us on Saturday, June 13 as fashion historian Bonnie Hansen takes a

look at her life, her love for Lincoln, her unique personality, and the fashions of the day. Historic photos

and period clothing will be featured. FREE and open to the public. Kansas City Public Library, Westport
