At 6:30 pm, we will meet at the Dobbin House for dinner with President Lincoln (James Hayney), followed by reminiscences from the President.

Entrée choices: Salmon, Prime Rib, or Hunter-style Chicken (chicken breast with mushroom sauce).

The cost is $55 per person ($40 for children under age 12) per person and includes the walking tour, dinner and evening talk at the Dobbin House.
