Medfield Historical Society Presents: "Abigail Adams, Liberty and Legacy" with Sheryl Faye
Popular speaker Sheryl Faye will be returning to Medfield performing in character as Abigail Adams in this presentation. Adams is sometimes considered to have been a founder of the United States and is now designated as the first Second Lady and second First Lady of The United States.
Adams’s life is one of the most documented of the first ladies: she is remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he stayed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses. John frequently sought the advice of Abigail on many matters, and their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics.

In one of her more famous letters she implores her husband and his colleagues, all of whom were male, to, “…remember the ladies…If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.” Her letters also serve as eyewitness accounts of the American Revolutionary War home front.
This event (on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at 5:45pm at The Center at Medfield, One Ice House Road, Medfield) is free and open to the public and is co-sponsored by the Medfield Council on Aging and the Medfield Public Library.
