As part of Old Lincoln Days, the Lincoln Historic Site welcomes historian and storyteller Brandon Dickson for a gripping presentation inside the historic San Juan Bautista Church. Titled The Most Dangerous Street in America, this lecture brings Lincoln’s violent past to life with tales of shootouts, sieges, and legendary figures like Billy the Kid.
From the Horrell Wars to the bloody Five-Day Battle, Dickson guides listeners through a time when Lincoln’s main road was one of the most lawless in the West. Known for his engaging style, military background, and published work, Brandon offers an unforgettable window into the real drama that unfolded on Lincoln’s storied street.
Lecture is included with site admission: $7 for adults, free for children 16 and under.
