Mr. Lincoln at Exeter, NH

Drove over to hear Mr. Lincoln give a speech very similar to the Cooper Union speech. It was 150 years ago Thursday that Mr. Lincoln gave his speech at the town hall in Exeter NH.
This is the picture of the "Lady Justice " on top of the Exeter Town Hall.

Here is Mr. Lincoln giving that speech at the Exeter Town Hall. The room hasn't changed much since then but added a balcony.

The 2nd window in on the right and on the 2nd floor was Robert Todd Lincoln's boarding room when he went to Exeter Academy. One of the reasons Mr. Lincoln was visiting Exeter NH.

This is a picture of the Swamscott Hotel where MR Lincoln stayed when he was in town. Also there is an argument that this is where the Republican Party was founded.
