Whit McMahan has entertained thousands of fun-loving listeners with his portrayals of the sixteenth U. S. President, Abraham Lincoln.  With a unique merging of history, music, and characterization, he is taking his shows to audiences throughout Tennessee & Kentucky.  In many ways, McMahan is “nearly” a dead-ringer for the actual “Abe”.  See the comparisons page, which details these similarities.   His image is enhanced through facial expressions, mannerisms, and speech typical of Lincoln.  A life member of the Association of Lincoln Presenters, Whit walks proudly in the footsteps of one of our most beloved American Presidents.    His goal, like that of the ALP is to help in “preserving and reanimating the life of Abraham Lincoln so that it shall not perish from the earth.”
