“Abigail Adams, Liberty and Legacy” with Sheryl Faye

Wednesday, April 15, at 5:30 pm, Medfield Council on Aging, 1 Icehouse Road, Medfield

As part of the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, join us for a look at the life of Abigail Adams—often considered one of the most influential women of the founding generation and later the nation’s first Second Lady and second First Lady.

Through her remarkable letters to John Adams during the Continental Congress, Abigail offered insight, political commentary, and her famous plea to the founders to “remember the ladies.” Her words provide a vivid window into both the founding of the nation and life on the Revolutionary War home front.

Free and open to the public
Co-sponsored by the Medfield Council on Aging and Medfield Public Library
