SUMMARY:Writing a Revolution: The Letters of John & Abigail Adams 1773-1776
DESCRIPTION:From the “destruction of the tea” to the Declaration of Independence\, witness the founding of a nation through the eyes of one of colonial America’s most iconic couples. John Adams will take part as a delegate in the First and Second Continental Congresses in Philadelphia\, while his wife\, Abigail\, remains in Massachusetts as the American Revolution begins. Their correspondence allows a window into the conflicts\, the struggles of the people\, the tedious nature of the Congress\, and a loving marriage. \nThis July\, we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of our nation. The letters of John and Abigail Adams reflect their lived experiences through this tumultuous time\, and allow us to witness history in the making. \nThis live theatrical performance provides an intimate setting geared toward adults and older children.

SUMMARY:The MHS Celebrates the USA's 250th with Reenactors and a Reading of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:The Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS) is hosting a commemorative program marking the 250th anniversary of July 2\, 1776 – the day the Continental Congress voted for independence from Great Britain. Although the nation ultimately adopted July 4 as its official birthday\, John Adams believed July 2 would be celebrated for generations\, predicting in a letter to Abigail Adams that the day would be marked with “pomp and parade… games\, sports\, guns\, bells\, bonfires\, and illuminations.” The event will feature historical reenactors portraying John and Abigail Adams\, bringing the couple’s famous correspondence and the dramatic days surrounding independence to life\, as well as a reading of the Declaration of Independence by WCVB Newscenter 5’s anchor Maria Stephanos. \nThe event will take place alongside 1776: Declaring Independence\, the Society’s landmark exhibition featuring some of the nation’s most significant founding‑era artifacts\, including:\n– John Adams’ and Thomas Jefferson’s handwritten copies of the Declaration of Independence\n– A rare Dunlap Broadside\, the earliest printing of the Declaration\n– Original Adams family correspondence discussing the vote for independence and Adams’s prediction about July 2\n– Tea recovered from Boston Harbor after the Boston Tea Party\n– Additional manuscripts and documents illustrating how the Declaration transformed the colonies into a new nation \nThe event is free and registration is recommended to secure your spot: https://www.masshist.org/events/USA-250-birthday

SUMMARY:Writing a Revolution: The Letters of John & Abigail Adams 1773-1776
DESCRIPTION:From the “destruction of the tea” to the Declaration of Independence\, witness the founding of a nation through the eyes of one of colonial America’s most iconic couples. John Adams will take part as a delegate in the First and Second Continental Congresses in Philadelphia\, while his wife\, Abigail\, remains in Massachusetts as the American Revolution begins.

The letters of John and Abigail Adams reflect their lived experiences through this tumultuous time\, and allow us to witness history in the making. \nThis live theatrical performance provides an intimate setting geared toward adults and older children.
