Step inside the very church where Reverend Dresser once pastored and witness a heartfelt reenactment of the Lincoln wedding. Featuring a period-costumed wedding couple and a specially recreated gown inspired by Mary Lincoln’s imagined attire—meticulously crafted using historical references and fashion details of the day.  Candlelight and live music evoke the warmth of a 19th-century celebration. After the vows, enjoy a reception that offers a taste of history: a cake made from an authentic 1840s recipe.
