Elizabethtown Historical Society, 57 S. Poplar St., Elizabethtown, will host a program by Steven Torrico on Tuesday, March 19, at 7 p.m.
Torrico will present "The History of the Lincoln Train and its Connection to Elizabethtown." Torrico is general superintendent of the Harrisburg, Lincoln and Lancaster Railroad.
On April 22, 1865, Abraham Lincoln's funeral train passed through what is today the Stone Gables Estate. Attendees at Torrico's presentation will learn about that passage, hear about a re-enactment of that event planned for April at the Stone Gables Estate in Elizabethtown, and how a replica of an 1860s train was built for the re-enactment.
