TEWKSBURY HISTORICAL SOCIETY For more than a decade we have worked to preserve, document and educate the community about our local history. We always welcome the opportunity to acquire or accept your tax deductible donations of images, documents and other Tewksbury items for preservation purposes. Please contact the Tewksbury Historical Society for more information. This new one-person play is about the life of one of America's most accomplished first ladies and the wife of John Quincy Adams, our 6th President. Louisa Adams, the only first lady born on foreign soil, was a brilliant scholar, musician, artist, poet and linguist and is one of America's best-kept secrets. She tells of her life with the country's sixth president, her initially tumultuous relationship with his mother, former first lady Abigail Adams, and her personal feelings as a staunch feminist. The play will be performed at the Tewksbury Senior Center on June 18, 2009 at 7:00 pm.. The Senior Center is located at 175 Chandler Street. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Tewksbury Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Tickets are $5.00 for members and $7.00 for non-members. Tickets may be purchased at the door or from members of the Historical Societies Executive Board. Reservations may be made on line by emailing tewksburyhistoricalsociety@msn.com. You may also purchase them at the library in the Local History Room on Tuesdays from 3:30-5:30pm. The play will follow the Annual Meeting of the Tewksbury Historical Society. The Annual Meeting for election of officers by members of the Society will be held at 6:30 pm.
