Meet President John Adams Sept. 25

Sep 10, 2014

On Thursday, Sept. 25, the public is invited to spend an evening with John Adams, the father of American Independence and second president of the United States, as portrayed by historical re-enactor George Baker.

During his presentation, entitled “Meet John Adams – A Witty and Revolutionary Conversation with America’s Second President,” Baker will present Adams’ views of the nation, history and family life in a humorous and inspiring speech. He will be dressed in the clothes he would have worn as president from 1797 to 1801.

George Baker is a graduate of Columbia College and Columbia Law School. He practices law in New Canaan, Connecticut. In 2008, Baker created his one-man show to represent the humor and patriotism of President John Adams. The presentation, which will begin at 7 p.m. at the Marion Music Hall, located at 164 Front St., is open to the public. No registration is required. Donations are always greatly appreciated.

Ample parking is available across from the Music Hall at Island Wharf Park. For more information, call the Historical Society at 508-748-1116.
