You can get some insights at “Kids in the White House,” a day of free special programs and activities about presidents and their children at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Feb. 20, at the Chicago History Museum, 1601 N. Clark St., at North Avenue.
The program begins with a storytelling and musical rendition of the book “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters,” by President Barack Obama. This will be followed at 11 by a program called “In the Service of the President’s Children,” and at 1 p.m. by the Brass Ambassadors Great Lakes Navy Band.
Crafts and patriotic face painting are planned all day, and visitors can meet President Abraham Lincoln and first lady Mary Todd Lincoln through actor-historians. They will conclude the day’s program with a performance at 2 p.m.
