• Revolutionary Eloquence: Quincy History’s Greatest Visionaries

    Adams Academy 8 Adams Street, Quincy, Massachusetts

    On Thursday, June 25th, at 7pm at the Adams Academy Quincy Historical Society will continue our celebration of America’s 250th anniversary with “Revolutionary Eloquence,” a program of dramatic readings featuring the words of some of Quincy’s most innovative thinkers. While Quincy may be famous for many things - shipbuilding, granite, great food, and grit - its greatest resource has always been the minds of its citizens.

    As the Historical Society’s Annual Meeting, officers and board members will be elected for the coming year.
