John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, Their Historic 50 Year Friendship

Join us at the Windsor Public Library for a fun and informative night as George Baker, a historical re-enactor, comes as John Adams and describes his 50 year friendship with Thomas Jefferson. Adams describes how he and Jefferson met in 1775 at the Continental Congress, how they jointly convinced the Continental Congress to vote for independence a year later, their comradeship as fellow ambassadors to England and France, the competitive presidential elections of 1796 and 1800, and finally their reconciliation in the last ten years of their lives, both dying on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the United States.

This program will introduce you to facts you might not know and allow you to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in July.

Registration required. Registration opens May 1. Please call the Reference Desk at 860-285-1918 with any questions.
