Museum In Hudson Valley Offers Virtual Lincoln's Birthday Video

PEEKSKILL, NY — In remembrance of President Abraham Lincoln's birthday and his 1861 speech in Peekskill, the Lincoln Depot Museum offers the public a chance to watch a commemorative video from the Lincoln Society's annual Re-enactment and Remembrance Day.

The coronavirus pandemic meant that the usual in-person celebrations had to be canceled, Lincoln Depot Museum officials said.

The video, produced by Michael J. Miner and narrated by current Lincoln Society President Robert McFarlane, combines the best moments from many of the events and commemorations over the past 10 years.

Please sit back and enjoy this wonderful production of speeches, poems and music, as we celebrate the 160th Anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's stop and speech in Peekskill, New York on February 19, 1861, Lincoln Depot Museum officials said.
