SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - A View From Abroad: The Story of John and Abigail Adams in Europe
DESCRIPTION:From 1778 to 1788\, future president John Adams lived in Europe as an American diplomat. Joined by his wife\, Abigail\, in 1784\, the two shared rich encounters with famous heads of the European royal courts. Jeanne E. Abrams\, professor of history at the University of Denver\, shows that the Adams’ journey not only changed the course of their intellectual\, political and cultural development\, but served to strengthen their loyalty to America\, and highlights how the Adamses and their American contemporaries set about supplanting their British origins with a new American identity. \nThis virtual program accompanies our current exhibition\, Affairs of State: 118 Years of Diplomacy and Entertaining at Anderson House\, on view through December 31\, 2023. \nRegistration is requested.
