Jessica Michna, an actress from Wisconsin acclaimed for her portrayals of historic women, returns to the Douglas County Historical Society for two performances as Mary Todd Lincoln this weekend.
The actress and historian conducts a Q&A after each show, in character. Tracy, the director of the DCHS, says she knows her stuff at least four questions deep.
