“I have known Robert Brugler as a presenter of Abraham Lincoln and as a volunteer and docent at Ohio’s Governor’s Residence for over four years. Bob is wonderful as an interpreter in teaching and informing his audience as well as engaging and entertaining adults and children. He is especially effective walking around interacting with visitors showing his versatility.”
“In his Lincoln attire, Robert has an amazing physical resemblance to our 16th President and his presentations make history come alive. He also welcomes questions from his audience and has an uncanny knack of engaging his audience while staying in character. His knowledge of Lincoln is encyclopedic.”
Hope Taft, Former First Lady of Ohio
“He does an excellent job of both portraying and educating people about the life of President Abraham Lincoln. His ability to connect with people regarding his subject matter is exceptional, and his knowledge of Lincoln's life and times has entertained a great many people of all ages. If someone is looking for an authority on our 16th President, Robert Brugler is an excellent choice for a presenter."

“Robert not only looks like Abraham Lincoln, but he is a confident, relaxed performer who immediately puts the audience at ease; he’s a very simple, sincere yet funny guy and is totally true to the character of Lincoln. His personal approach to storytelling left everyone at his dinner table entranced and hanging on every word. Robert is totally engaging and most importantly, he has something to say and does it in such a way that you really feel you are having a conversation with old Honest Abe himself.”
Gale E. Martin, Executive Director, the Marion County Historical Society
"Robert is a very personable impressionist of Abraham Lincoln. He brings an approachable concept to his impression. He brings the character to life and is very knowledgeable."
Nancy Mergel, Organizer, Reynoldsburg Civil War Re-Enactment
“Beyond being a repository of Lincoln History, Bob embodies the human side of Lincoln. He can spin a good story or humorous anecdote during his presentations. Moreover, he is very comfortable in his role and experiences no nervousness - after a few moments the observer believes he is seeing Lincoln. After seeing many Lincoln impressionists - I rank Bob Brugler at top of the list. He is a staple at the Reynoldsburg Civil War Re-Enactment.”

"Robert Brugler portrayed Abraham Lincoln for Campus Martius Museum for our 8th Grade Civil War Field day. We couldn't have been more pleased. The event was held outside and he kept the students engaged by his presentation. The students were able to see Lincoln as a person and not just someone they have read about. Robert didn't just lecture, he talked to the students and they became part of his reenactment.”
Glenna Hoff, Director, Campus Martius Museum, Marietta, OH

"I have worked with Bob as Abraham Lincoln and he is very well read as a living historian. He brings Lincoln's humor, his skills and knowledge as a politician. Robert works hard to make Lincoln a real person and his presentations are humorous, entertaining, and informative."
