LISBON FALLS – The Lisbon Historical Society meeting on Wednesday, March 11, will feature Civil War historian and living-history performer Charles W. Plummer, who will re-enact poet Walt Whitman’s tribute to Abraham Lincoln in New York City on April 14, 1887, which marked the 22nd anniversary of his death.

In the persona of Whitman, Plummer will recall memories of Lincoln’s life and events leading to his assassination at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C., by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865.

Plummer will read several of the poems Whitman wrote about Lincoln, including “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d,” and discuss their symbolism and meaning.

The meeting, free and open to the public, will take place at 7 p.m. at the Marion T. Morse School, School Street. Refreshments will be served after the meeting.
