Due to the 2020 Pandemic, our Annual Lincoln Society Re-enactment Event and Commemoration was cancelled, and a virtual video was created. Produced by Michael J. Miner, the video combines the best moments from many of the events and commemorations that transpred over the past ten years or so. Please sit back and enjoy this wonderful production of speeches, poems and music, as we celebrate the 160th Anniversary of Presdient Abraham Lincoln's stop and speech in Peekskill, New York on February 19, 1861.

Lincoln was elected President in November of 1860. During his trip from Illinois to Washington for his inauguration, he traveled by train east to Albany and then south through the Hudson Valley to NYC, Philadelphia and Baltimore. At his stop in Peekskill NY at the Peekskill Train Station on February 19, 1861, Lincoln addressed a supportive crowd from a specially prepared platform erected on a baggage car. There, he sensed the difficult times the nation appeared to be heading towards, when he said:
“In regard to the difficulties which lie before me and our beloved country, if I can only be as generously and unanimously sustained as the demonstrations I have witnessed indicate I shall be, then in my management of public affairs, I shall not fail: Without your sustaining hands I am sure that neither I nor any other man can hope to surmount these difficulties. I trust that in the course I shall pursue, I shall be sustained not only by the party that elected me, but by the free, intelligent and earnest support of the patriotic people of the whole country.”
Since 1903, The Lincoln Society in Peekskill has dedicated itself to perpetuating and honoring the memory of Abraham Lincoln, who stopped in Peekskill on February 19, 1861, on the way to his inauguration in Washington DC, with commemorative events, parades and dinners.

“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The Mystic Chords of Memory, stretching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
Lincoln' First Inaugural Address.

“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan-to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves and with all nations.”
