Michael LePage as Benjamin Franklin

Tuesday, November 17 at 6:30 PM

Click here to register.

Michael LePage as Benjamin Franklin. Tuesday, November 17 at 6:30 PM. It is 1802 and John Adams has been home for a year. He has had plenty of time to think about the causes of his defeat in the Election of 1800. Party politics, negative journalism, and a certain former Secretary of the Treasury all weigh heavily on his mind. The need for vindication for a public life of service is needed and the second President of the United States is more than willing to discuss it. President Adams will speak of his early days as a lawyer and family man, his time in the Continental Congress leading the charge for independence, his time in Europe securing loans and peace, and his time in the new republic serving as Vice President, and then as President, keeping America out of a war with France. Of course, no discussion can be had without extolling the virtues of his dear wife Abigail, and her wisdom. Registration is required. Visit our Events Page. Call the Blackstone Public Library at 508-883-1931 for more information. This program is funded by the IMLS 250 Library Convening Stipend.
