“Born of humble means outside Boston, Massachusetts, Adams’s work ethic led him to become one of the colony’s most successful attorneys. Yet he burned with a powerful ambition and yearned for more. Festering tensions with Great Britain provided the occasion Adam longed for, and soon he found himself at the center of the storm, thrust onto the national stage where all his “Powers” transformed him into the intellectual architect of American independence." Admission is by suggested donation. If you plan to attend, please contact the museum at 585-343-4727 or hollandlandoffice@gmail.com.

Thank you to Tompkins Community Bank and the Batavia Rotary Club for sponsoring in part the Guest Speaker Series.
