RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions
Excellent, Anita. Mary did stay at Congress Hall in Racine during her 50-day stay there in the summer of 1867. Tad was with her for only about 3 weeks of the time due to his being in Washington for the John Surratt trial.

Congress Hall was a premier hotel in Racine, but sadly it was lost to an 1882 fire in the city.

Over the years there have been some rumors that Tad attended classes at Racine College, but Steven Rogstad's article in the Fall/Winter 2021 Lincoln Herald clearly refutes that idea.
