Lex Talk History: Gwen Thompson of the Mary Todd Lincoln House shares new insights of those who were enslaved there

Mary Todd Lincoln House

Lex Talk History, the official podcast of the Lexington History Museum, goes from "All Things LaFayette" to a seldom told aspect of life in the Mary Todd Lincoln House. This bonus May edition features Gwen Thompson, executive director of the historic childhood home of the former First Lady. She and Mandy discuss some of the people that too often history leaves out of the grand narrative; especially poignant with Lexington's 250th anniversary upon us. One person in particular was an enslaved servant named Chaney Dickerson. It's a fascinating conversation you won't want to miss.
