Quincy Celebrates Its Lincoln Legacy

We’re proud that Mr. Lincoln’s size 14 boots walked Quincy’s streets enroute to the Presidency and civil sainthood. We continue our year-long series of activities celebrating and commemorating the moments he shared with Quincyans on the journey. Please return to this page often for information about new and updated Quincy Lincoln Bicentennial events.
