Abigail Adams: America’s First Second Lady

Saturday, May 24 at 11:00AM

Renowned actress and interpreter Sheryl Faye returns to the Spellman to relate the remarkable life of Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams and a pioneering personality during the creation of the United States. Abigail Adams is sometimes considered to have been a founder of the United States and is now designated as the first Second Lady and second First Lady of The United States.

Adams’s life is one of the most documented of the first ladies: she is remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he stayed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses. John frequently sought the advice of Abigail on many matters, and their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics. Her letters also serve as eyewitness accounts of the American Revolutionary War home front.
