We’re celebrating Presidents’ Day over School Vacation Week! Join us on the weekends to meet the founders who became our nation’s five first presidents and first ladies.  

On Sunday, February 19, meet our nation’s second president, John Adams! Mr. Adams will certainly tell you about how he came to the presidency from a background in law and founded the navy when US ships were attacked by the French. Don’t forget to ask about his relationship with Thomas Jefferson and Abigail Adams and discover the amazing feats that he accomplished during the American Revolution!
