Mary Todd Lincoln House to feature program on vintage photography

mtlhouse.org

Executive Director Gwen Thompson says the theme is picturing the past.

"We are going to have a vintage photography specialist. His name is Mark Cornelison and he does really cool work. He does actual Tintypes, which is a type of historic photography. And he'll be talking about and demonstrating that process." Thompson said.

Attendees can also have their own tintype made for an additional fee of $75.

For the trivia-minded here's a little known fact: even though President Lincoln was photographed often, he and Mary Todd were never snapped together.

In addition to a Lincoln-themed selfie station, the museum will display rarely seen portrait photos.

If you go:

The house will welcome visitors from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday.

Purchase tickets here or at the door ($15 adults/$6 youth). Admission free to museum members. Tintype portraits are $75.
