MTL House Holding Todd Sibling Themed Tour Thursday

Mary Todd Lincoln House

It may surprise you to know that former First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln had eight sisters and five brothers, many of them were rather colorful characters in their own right.  Now the restored Lexington childhood home of the famous Kentuckian is hosting an event focusing on the Todd siblings; themed tours called Rascals, Rebels, and Romantics.

"One of her most rascally brothers was David," said Mary Todd Lincolon House Executive Director Gwen Thompson.  "He actually ran away from home when he was fourteen so that he could fight in the Mexican War and when he came back he had a tattoo...so he's probably the biggest rascal of the Todd bunch," Thompson said.

Rascals, Rebels, and Romantics Tours take place Thursday night April 20th at five, six, and seven p.m.
