Our 16th President comes to life as Jim Getty steps on-stage for general audiences in the award-winning, one-man performance, “A Visit With Mr. Lincoln.”

This program is available to groups only, by special arrangement in Gettysburg, or in your own hometown.

Photographs and a Presidential “press conference” follow this memorable presentation.

When Jim Getty takes the stage in “A Visit With Mr. Lincoln”, he is Abraham Lincoln.

Getty brings Lincoln to life:  audiences see and hear the President recount his homespun stories of youth, his recollections of his personal and political life, and his special anguish for Gettysburg.

For years, Getty has enlightened and entertained audiences across the country.  And, as a noted Lincoln historian, he specializes in uniquely tailoring his programs— specifically for your meeting, convention,  or other special event.

Audiences aboard the steamboat Mississippi Queen, at the National Theater in Washington, and at the Reagan Presidential Library have delighted in Jim Getty’s unique, heart-warming interpretation of America’s 16th President.

At the Library of Congress, the Indianapolis Rotary Club, and Cornell University, “theatergoers” have laughed along at the President’s special brand of humor.  And, they have felt the Commander-in-Chief’s own personal torment over the difficult decisions he faced in preserving the Union.

• National Geographic Tours
• The Close-Up Foundation
• Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum
