(BARNEGAT, NJ) -- Step back into our nation’s earliest days to meet one of its most extraordinary couples. The Ocean County Library Barnegat Branch will present the American Historical Theatre’s Peyton Dixon and Kim Hanley in “John and Abigail Adams: An American Love Story” on Saturday, June 29, 2024 at 11:00am.
John Adams, our second President, aimed to do what he saw as right, whether defending British soldiers after the Boston Massacre or traveling abroad to find financial aid for the Revolutionary War effort. Abigail Adams was John’s wife, best friend and strongest supporter. She was educated, respected, and just as outspoken as her husband.
Together, they sacrificed and strove for the ideal of the United States as a democracy, equal for all regardless of gender or race, values they instilled in their six children including John Quincy Adams, who followed in his father’s Presidential footsteps.
