Join us for a special event: Historian and Actor Terry Lynch Brings to Life John Adams: A Lawyer in Adversity
​
The Village of Thornton Historical Society presents historian and actor Terry Lynch, Monday, August 27 at 7:00 PM at the Historical Society Museum, 114 N. Hunter Street, as he portrays the 2nd President of the United States, John Adams. Adams was a Founding Father and a lawyer who could handle adversity and be part of living history. The program highlights include his challenging decision to defend the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre which is often framed as a movement of “adversity” and principle. Admission is free and all are welcome to attend.
