Lincoln Comes Alive

The person and character of the 16th and greatest President comes alive with a presentation or appearance by John Voehl, a lifetime member of the Association of Lincoln Presenters.

Since 1996, over 135,000 people of all ages have been enriched by a personal encounter with the Emancipator and Civil War Commander in Chief in nearly 500 presentations and appearances in 19 states.  Going beyond mere historical facts and dates, people have spent time with Lincoln, getting to know the man, his motivations, sufferings and accomplishments.



"As the 16th President, I was the first Republican, the first with a beard, the tallest, the first born outside of the original 13 colonies, the only one with a patent, the one who granted the most pardons, probably the strongest and one of the few poets."                  - John Voehl in character as Lincoln.
