March 18, 2010 – Twenty-seven Rotarians and a guest (Emily Johnson, guest of Toby Skinner) were present for the visit with Mary Todd Lincoln. This most enjoyable historic interpretation by Linda Estupinen Snook, Civil War re-enactor and owner of LaViella Maison des Livres in Mifflinburg, was very informative and entertaining. Mary Todd Lincoln should be remembered as the “first” first lady and the person who saw to the preservation and refurbishing of the White House.
