Lincoln in 3D, a unique experience

A truly unique view of history took place on the evening of July 15th when we presented Lincoln in 3D. Stereoscope, or 3-D photography, was the rage in Civil War America. Bob Zeller from the Institute for Civil War Photography has digitized the images of Civil War photographers Brady, Gardner and others into a stunning presentation that gave a new perspective on President Lincoln and the American Civil War.
