Stretched between Confederate trenches and the federal White House, the Todd’s were a uniquely divided clan, a sort of Civil War writ small. Six of the siblings, including Mary Todd Lincoln, sided with the Union, while eight sided with the Confederacy. Stephen Berry discusses the movements and fates of members of this colorful family and explores the Todd’s’ impact on Lincoln’s own unique experience and interpretation of the Civil War. Followed by reception in the Humanities Center Gallery. For more information, contact (530) 898-4642. Admission: free and open to the public. Tickets available at the University Box Office (530) 898-6333 or at www.csuchico.edu/hfa/schoolofthearts.html
