What did Teddy Roosevelt mean when he said he was a “Lincoln Republican… a progressive?”   Did this have the same meaning as Americans who call themselves Progressives today?   Was Abraham Lincoln a conservative or a radical?  What did those terms mean then as opposed to now?  How did Lincoln lead the country in a highly divisive time?  Could the Framers imagine such things as government-funded healthcare or bank bailouts?   If they had opinions on these matters, did George Washington and Thomas Jefferson differ, and why?  Did their administrations occur in a highly divisive time and if so, how did they deal with it?
What were the ideals of the republic according to these great leaders now memorialized on Mt. Rushmore?  How would they deal with issues such as health care, immigration or cap and trade?  Meet them, ask them yourself, and experience a memorable evening with these American icons.   Museum displays, library collections, and period artifacts vital to the understanding of American history will be greatly enhanced as these figures are brought to life before our very eyes… when the history-makers actually respond to your questions. 
Experience this firsthand from the iconic figures themselves, presented by Dean Malissa as George Washington, Bill Barker as Thomas Jefferson, Fritz Klein as Abraham Lincoln and Gib Young as Theodore Roosevelt.  These men are historical actors who not only portray their characters credibly, but are well-studied and scholarly in their approach.
