Thank you for a most enjoyable sidewalk conversation in front of Harvey Tales.
​
I appreciate those who are intereted in knowing more about the Lincolns, railroads, and the Gilded Age.
​
As a long time Robert Todd Lincoln reenactor, I enjoy sharing many of his interesting stories.
​
In the following links you will find many of those stories. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
​
My main interest are those stories between 1830 to 1930.
​​​
I am always happy to share. I meet with people sharing stories over coffee on a regular basis.​
Email me if you want to meet at Harvey's Tales or All Chocolate Kitchen. ​
​
Robert Todd Lincoln became a 'Yankee' while attending Harvard.
​
Perhaps, not surprisingly, he built a his summer estate in Manchester, Vermont.
​
Last summer I was thrilled to visit 'HIldene'.
​
Furthermore, I have a friend who lived in Manchester and knew Robert's granddaughter.
​
I would enjoy sharing these experiences.
