It was at or around this day in 1862 that the Lincoln family moved to the Cottage at the Soldiers' Home for the first time. And the rest, as they say, was history.

#OTD in 1865 news of Emancipation broke in the farthest reaches of the former Confederacy. 2.5 years earlier, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Curious about the timeline? Check out our Q&Abe episode, "How fast did Emancipation happen?" on your favorite podcast app.

This week's sauna-like temps makes us wonder, "Was it this hot when Lincoln was around?" It just so happens we tackled that very question on Q&Abe last season. Listen here or on your favorite podcast app: lincolncottage.org/q-abe-episode-…

Not only is it #IndependenceDay, but also #OTD in 1864 President Lincoln and his family began their third (and what would be their final) season at the home today called President Lincoln's Cottage. That day Abraham Lincoln signed into law An Act to Encourage Immigration.

#OTD in 1864, President Lincoln was nearly killed when he came under direct enemy fire as he stood on parapet of Fort Stevens. Tomorrow The Alliance to Preserve the Civil Defenses of Washington will be hosting a Fort Stevens Day commemoration. We hope to see you there!

#OTD in 1882, Mary Lincoln died after falling into a coma one day earlier, the anniversary of her beloved son Tad's death. The letters she left behind shed light on her intelligence, grief, and strength.
