The Newtown Historic Association has invited Hugh Boyle, the Executive Director of the Grand Army of the Republic Museum & Library in Philadelphia, to give a lecture on Lincoln’s Assassins. This lecture will examine the men who were part of the conspiracy to kill Abraham Lincoln, William Seward and Andrew Johnson, on April 14th, 1865.

Who were they and why did they do it and what justice did they receive?
