Historic Experience

C'est bon! It was a lovely afternoon at the Old House (Peacefield) in Quincy where John Adams (Peyton Dixon) welcomed the Marquis De Lafayette (Mark Schneider) as part of the 200th anniversary of Lafayette's grand 24 state tour. It was a fine, fanciful and fascinating meeting of the soldier and the statesman. Merci!

John Adams here: if you find yourself in or near Quincy, Massachusetts tomorrow, I invite you to welcome our honored guest, the Marquis De Lafayette, at. 3:30 pm at the Carriage House behind Peacefield. We will be preparing and celebrating throughout the day. You are most welcome.
