“America’s First Father and Son Presidents”
Tuesday, March 22, 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
Join us as we learn how the Adams story includes four generations of Admasses, including two Presidents. We will focus on the stories of the two First Ladies, their families, and the collection of artifacts that help tell the stories. Adams National Historical Park encompasses the birthplaces, burial place, and the Old House at Peace field, which provides opportunities to connect with the places that shaped the lives and ideas of the statesmen who, through lengthy domestic and international public service, had a profound and lasting influence on United States nation building, constitutional theory, and international diplomacy. All the objects in our collection are original to the family and were gifts from the Adams family in 1946.
Kelly is the Curator for Adams National Historical Park has directed the Cultural Resource Department for over 30 years. She began her Park Service career as a Park Guide at Adams NHP and began her research in the Adams’s papers looking for connections and references to events and objects associated with the Adams’s homes and artifacts.
