Mary Todd Lincoln: First Lady of Tragedy and the Woman Lincoln Loved
This engaging living history presentation begins at 11 am. Marge Harding will bring to life the story of Mary Todd Lincoln – a story of both tragedy and triumph. As a young girl she was vivacious and impulsive until her mother died; then she remembered her childhood as desolate. The Lincoln’s early years brought hard work, a family of boys, a strong connection to Oregon, and reduced circumstances to the pleasure-loving girl who had never felt responsibility before. Catch this special presentation of our 16th First Lady.

No time to check everyone off your “nice” list? No problem! ‘Tis the season for the Festival of the Last-Minute! With any welcome holiday tradition, Portland Saturday Market returns with its one-stop event for all those who’ve delayed starting their shopping — and those who simply don’t want to stop.
Open daily from December 19 right through Christmas Eve, the marketplace will once again feature one-of-a-kind handcrafted items, exotic foods and an appropriately chilly, yet perennially cool atmosphere. The event marks the perfect opportunity to shop the work of talented area artists and support the local economy, with some 40 categories of arts and crafts. After all, just because you didn’t make the gifts yourself doesn’t make them any less handmade, or thoughtful.
