Abraham Lincoln(s) paid a visit to Lecompton’s Historical Society on Saturday — roughly 30 of them. The visitors were members of the Association of Lincoln Presenters, a group of men and women across the United States who enjoy portraying Abraham or Mary Todd Lincoln. “We are living historians, you might call us, or living history reenactors,” said Kevin Wood, a Michigan-based member of the ALP. “Our goal is really just to bring to life these very important characters from our history.” The association’s visit to Lecompton served as part of its three-day annual conference in Kansas — the first one in three years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the conference mainly took place nearby in Leavenworth, its final day featured a day trip to Lecompton.
