  • Book Chat on Friends Divided with Historian Gordon Wood

    The Depot 13 Depot Square, Lexington, MA, United States

    One of the most iconic duos in Revolutionary history, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson famously worked together through the Continental Congress before feuding for decades. Later, they miraculously rekindled a fierce friendship before dying on the same day, 50 years to the day of the Declaration of Independence’s signing. Their relationship allows us a unique look at how the American Revolution affected those of different social classes and ideologies, and how such disparate ideas were able to exist side by side in the new Republic.

    In our last Book Chat of this season, join award-winning Revolutionary War historian Gordon S. Wood in an interactive discussion about these fascinating founding fathers. Reading the book is never required, but adds to the experience!
