Journey Two
The White House Years
Rumors in the Kitchen
takes you through a reproduction of the White House Kitchen
where you will hear servants whispering rumors. These servants
are discussing Mary's sanity, the mounting war casualties,
Lincoln's inability to find a winning general, and rumors
that Lincoln is working on an Emancipation Proclamation.
Lincoln's Office in
the White House brings you into an exacting
reproduction of Lincoln's White House office. As you enter,
Lincoln has just unveiled his plans to issue an Emancipation
Proclamation to his cabinet. Each in their own way disapproves.
Some say it goes too far, others not far enough; a few believe
it is political suicide.
