Louise Levy, a lifelong student of American history, will talk about the life of Mary Todd Lincoln at the first Tea & Talk of Ventfort Hall’s summer series. This is an encore presentation from her popular, sold out talk last summer. A tea will be served after her presentation and will include recipes based on Miss Leslie’s Instructions for Cookery as well as other Civil War era treats, including some of President Abraham Lincoln’s favorites. Ticket pricing includes access to the mansion throughout the day of this event from 10 am to 4 pm. Reservations are strongly encouraged as seats are limited.
