No, you weren’t seeing double. Abraham Lincoln was everywhere this weekend. About 60 Abe and Mary Todd impersonators from across the country joined together at the Willard InterContinental on Saturday to celebrate the 16th President’s bicentennial.

Watch the video to find out what separates the honest Abes from the fakes.
Lincolns, Lincolns Everywhere
