The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library & Museum resumes its monthly lecture series with a focus on America’s 16th president.

The public is invited to hear Phillip C. Stone speak on Abe Lincoln’s Virginia Family on Monday, January 22 at 7 p.m.

Stone, former president of Bridgewater College and Sweet Briar College, is an expert on the importance of the Lincoln Homestead, the history of the family homes and the cemetery in Rockingham County, where Lincoln’s great-grandfather is buried.

The story is of a pioneer family with deep roots in the Shenandoah Valley, divided by migration and the Civil War. One family was the president and the Confederates, the emancipator and the owners of enslaved people.

Stone practices law at the Stone Law Group in Harrisonburg.
